Executive Summary
This project is a bluetooth enabled stopwatch, where the stopwatch will store user accounts and then allows the user to get times, and time-splits of the user account and then transmits the final time and splits to the receiver which then inputs the times and time-splits into google sheets.
We focused on the profile and portability aspect of the stopwatch. We wanted to make an interface with easy to use software and only three buttons. To keep processing power and our systems light, we decided to implement one BeagleBone Black (BBB) as our actual "Stopwatch" and another BBB as a host that would stay on indefinetly and act as a "Server" where it would await Bluetooth commands from our stopwatch.
In the code, we have developed profiles for our Linux mascots, Tux and Boris. Below we have included instructions on how to setup and run our application.
Packaging
The packaging for the project is composed of 3 GPIO Buttons, 2 HC-05 Bluetooth Modules, 1 SPI LCD Display
