ELEC60013 Embedded Systems: Coursework 1

Project name: Barkr

• A pet-tracking IoT device without the need for embedded GPS - the location wis tracked using airtags and Apple's Find My Network, significantly improving battery life.
• Various sensors (accelerometer, temperature, humidity) are connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, allowing real-time monitoring of pet's health and environment metrics.
• Data is processed and stored using a backend written in Python Flask and Firebase. Finally, a user app, written in Flutter, was created, allowing the user to see the current location of their pet, alongside air and skin temperature, humidity and step count.

Repository Sections

• App: The user app, written in Flutter
• DataPuller: Data fetching script to pull data from cloud sources and forward to our backend, eg. AirTags DB or an MQTT broker
• RPi: Program to run on the IOT device itself, collecting pet information for the app and acts as a bluetooth beacon
• Server: Backend for interacting with the Firebase Database and providing user registration abilities
• Website: Static marketting website built using Hugo, live at https://barkr.8bitsqu.id/
