Overview

The Library Chair is designed to make every library function more efficiently. The library chair design is based on a pressure sensor, which tells whether or not the particular chair is occupied, and then relays the information to a computer, which then compiles information from all of the library chairs. The computer then produces a map of the library and its chairs, and shows which chairs are currently unavailable. This way, each library attendee will know whether or not they will be able to find a seat in the library.

Objectives

We have a few objectives for our project. The first objective we are currently working on is how to finalize the circuit we want to use with the pressure sensor, to determine whether or not the library chair is occupied. The objective we have is to determine how we can get the library chair to communicate that it is occupied/unoccupied through radio waves to a processor. Following that, we are going to work on expanding our circuit to be able to operate entirely on solar power. Following that, we want to figure out a way for the processor to communicate the information to some sort of server. Once the server is set up, our next objective is to be able to develop an interactive interface for users attending the library can use.

Objective One: Building the Circuit

Objective Two: Communicating Chair to Processer

Objective Three: Solar Power

Objective Four: Server

Objective Five: Interface
