Tiivistelmä
This project is the initial research and development carried out for the possible implementation of electronic class schedules on the Leppävaara campus of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The goal is to develop a working model that will retrieve classroom information from the online school calendar and present the information in the form of a schedule for the user. Additionally, the product should be kept within a budget that allows for the replication of many new productions.
An electronic picture frame was purchased and studied to see how to combine the wireless capability. A preconfigured embedded wireless network card was purchased for communications. A small server program was designed to listen for the microcontroller. The main microcontroller was then programmed to request a file from the server program and write the returned data to a Secure Digital (SD) memory card
in a way that the electronic picture frame could read the picture.
The project was successful in that the final version is able to deliver pictures from the server computer and display them on the screen. The cost of the development was also kept low enough to allow the production of more units.
