Project Badger Final Notes
Issues to Fix
- Control module housing dimensions need to be refined for a better fit
- LCD sometimes displays “0.00 kWh” when there is power being drawn
Improvements to be Made
- Make the control housing into a small remote shape
- Make the outlet housing wall mountable
- Utilize the PCB's instead of the Arduino R3 and breadboards
Future Work
- Develop an app that can control the outlet instead of needing to use a standalone controller
- Use Bluetooth 4.2 for its low power consumption and compatibility with smartphones and tablets
- Add SD card functionality to document power consumption over time
