PyroWifi

It was a fun side project the time of an afternoon with a friend from school.

The fact was, he builded a “tazer” which goal was to ignite stuff.

Problem ! We don’t want to stay near the stuff igniting, easy solution -> a long cable, our solution -> WIFI Madafaka.

Structure

ESP32

To control the tazer we used an ESP32 because we got one and it’s easy to setup fast.

It was setup as a server and had a small API with 3 option, ON / OFF / Small pressure.

Mobile App

The mobile app was in flutter.

Just you open the app after connected to the ESP32, select the IP of the server and here we go you control the tazer.

Problems

It look like keeping the tazer on for a long time wasn’t a good idea, for the material and for staying alive, so we added some security to avoid big problems.

Disconnections may lead to eternal tazing so we also needed to patch that.

Conclusion

It work !

Why

It was just a small project but i really liked making it, it was the problem of an afternoon + evening and we solved our staying alive why using big fireworks problem.
