Inspo Bot

What it does

A robot that autonomously writes inspirational quotes on a notecard.

How we built it

• MakerFocus ESP8266 WiFi Kit 8 for quote retrieval from a REST API
• Stepper motors
• 3D printed parts ## Challenges we ran into
• The attempted communication method turned out to be unsupported by official documentation
• Not enough time for improving 3D printed parts ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• First time taking an IoT approach and using a REST API on an embedded platform*
• Massive 3D printing ## What we learned
• Connecting hardware devices to the WiFi with low-level code
• Using OLED display screens ## What's next for Inspo Bot
• Integrate networking protocols for an automated approach
• Integrate mobile phone usage
