Objectives:
1) Design and implement a user-friendly interface for inputting circuit parameters and
viewing voltage drop calculations.
2) Integrate IoT connectivity to enable remote monitoring and control of the voltage drop
calculator.
3) Develop real-time notifications for alerting users when the voltage drop exceeds
predefined thresholds.
4) Implement data logging functionality to record voltage drop measurements over time.
5) Apply machine learning algorithms for predictive maintenance and anomaly detection.
6) Ensure security and privacy of user data through robust authentication and encryption
mechanisms.
Methodology
Interface Design:
1) Design a graphical user interface (GUI) using a suitable programming language and
framework (e.g., Python with Tkinter).
2) Develop input fields for users to enter circuit parameters such as wire gauge, circuit
length, load current, and supply voltage.
3) Display the calculated voltage drop prominently on the interface along with real-time
monitoring features.
LOT Integration:
1) Select an IoT platform (e.g., AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT) for cloud connectivity and
device management.
2) Implement MQTT or HTTP protocols for communication between the voltage drop
calculator and the IoT platform.
3) Integrate Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity modules (e.g., ESP8266, Raspberry Pi,Arduino)
into the voltage drop calculator hardware.
Real-Time Notifications:
1) Implement a notification system using push notifications or SMS alerts to notify users of
voltage drop anomalies.
2) Set up threshold-based triggers to send notifications when the voltage drop exceeds
predefined limits.
4) Design a database schema for storing voltage drop measurements and metadata (e.g.,
timestamp, circuit parameters).
5) Implement data logging functionality to record voltage drop data at regular intervals.
6) Develop data visualization tools (e.g., web dashboard, mobile app) for users to view
historical voltage drop trends and analyze circuit performance.
Predictive Maintenance:
2) Train the machine learning model to predict potential issues with the circuit based on
historical data and circuit parameters.
Implement secure authentication mechanisms (e.g., OAuth, JWT) to ensure that only
authorized users can access the IoT features.
Encrypt sensitive data transmitted between the voltage drop calculator and the IoT
platform using SSL/TLS protocols.
