This project focuses on creating a web-based user interface that allows people to interact with and control embedded hardware systems. The work centers on designing a browser-accessible frontend that connects to a Linux-based application running on a microcontroller. Through this interface, users will be able to manage basic hardware functions, such as controlling light-emitting diodes (LEDs) through general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.
Implementation requires selecting a single-board computer with an Ethernet connection that runs a Linux distribution suited for embedded systems. The design is intentionally modular, allowing the project scope to expand as capabilities grow and new objectives are identified. Outcomes from the senior design team’s implementation will directly inform the development of a future feature for TE field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), ensuring that the work has practical value beyond the initial prototype.
