An Intellectual Mailbox
Briefing of Project
Our project is build a mailbox which can detect the mail arrived and inform owner which the mail coming though cloud services, the prototype based on PSoC 6 WiFI-BT Pioneer Kit and try to minimum the BOM, the target is the final solution is simple for build and easy for use which not just amateur and consider for commerce such as power consumption, cost and the reliability.
The kit installed inside back side for a typical vertical mailbox which open on top.
Our Project based on two phases:
1. send notification to owner when the mail coming
2. use AI （such as Tensor Lite for embedded https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/microcontrollers ) for embedded to detect heavy dog barking, trigger the buzzer and inform owner by AWS
The first target is essential and second is experimenting, which the CPU of pioneer kit may not powerful enough for target or the embedded tensor engine not good enough for sound recognition.
We may also added the environment sensor to detect the air quality and weather and send though AWS.
First Look of the PSoC 6 WiFI-BT Pioneer Kit
Thanks for the element14 community term, Cypress and Amazon AWS. We received the pioneer kit and AWS credit moment ago.
The Cypress Pioneer Kit, which included some jumpers, a USB-C to A cable, the Quick start guides, the kits and the TFT which is pre-housed top of main kits.
We follow the quick guides and sucess connect the device to our local Wifi network.
After that, I download the ModusToolbox 2.0 under cypress web-site, start the ModusToolbox 2.0 IDE, choose new application,
select kit CY8CKIT-062-WIFI-BT, select Next, choose "Hello World", Next and Finish.
The USB cable should connect to the KitProg3 USB ports for programming which is the Left USB port.
Build and Run, the RED LED flashing.
The next step is try to connect the device to AWS cloud services.
