Project Theme A physical control panel for managing server
Key Features
Command Launcher: Triggers server scripts (network reset, shutdown) via physical MCU input. The display provides immediate success feedback.
Data Monitoring: Measures trends against user-defined thresholds (e.g., Temp > 40°C) set on the dashboard. Exceeding limits triggers alerts to the SBC.
Panel Editing: Users can customize visible functions or view second MCU sensor data using rotary encoder shortcuts.
Stretch Goals
Wake-on-LAN: A menu option sends Magic Packets to wake remote devices.
Safety: Specific input sequences prevent accidental actions (e.g., unwanted shutdown).
Components
SBC: 1x RPi 4 Model B (Node.js Backend, DB).
MCUs: 1x RPi Pico W (Input, Wi-Fi), 1x RPi Pico (Sensors, UART).
Peripherals: OLED 0.96" (I2C), Rotary Encoder, DHT11 Sensor, 3x Buttons.

Since I am still building on my programming basics, I treat AI like a
senior developer looking over my shoulder. It helps me not just with the
code, but helps me to express my thoughts. I often draft my ideas or
documentation in my native language, and the AI helps me translate them
into clear, professional technical English. This allows me to focus on
the logic while ensuring that my code and comments are easily understood
by anyone, without getting stuck on the language barrier.
I use gemini pro because it’s licence was free for students for brief period of time.
Update I hate doing html so I use AI to generate me static pages to which I write javascript to make them dynamic.
