[WiFi Plug DIY (1)] Preface

A. Preface

1. This post is about a project that uses 'Raspberry Pi'

2. If you have a little knowledge of 'Electronic circuits' and 'C programming', you can make it.

   - Source code will be shared on my Github.

2. It's free to make or improve this project.

   - Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

   - However, I'm not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of following this project.

B. Project overview

1. Level of difficulty(in my opinion...)

   ★★☆☆☆ Plug disassembly - (Refer.)

      - Easy to destroy... But, be careful. You may hurt your hands.

   ★★★★☆ Remaking the plug - (Refer.)

      - When you remake the inside of the plug, you really need powerful muscles and a sense of reuse.

   ★★★☆☆ Making plug controller program(at the level of programming beginners) - (Refer.)

      - You may know 'C-lang' and 'Linux programming'... or not. It's easy.

2. Level of completion ★★★☆☆

   - The shape of the plug isn't perfect, because of the space for raspberry pi.

   - Slightly read in circuits, I couldn't check for the safety of this project.(Need guru's feedback).

   - I have customized the plug control program for various tests. It's useful.

   - Need client program(or app), but it is ok to use TCP test apps for demo.

3. Future improvements

   - Other cheap open source h/w(like arduino) can be good alternatives on behalf of Raspberry Pi.

   - Various functions such as timer can be implemented(S/W).

   - It is also good idea that use Raspberry Pi as a server managing many clients.
