Automated Allotment

This project is a work in progress. I've recently figured out how to connect my ESP32 to a custom PCB (stripboard) powered by solar energy and sustained by a li-ion battery. It has the added ability to update the software remotely by connecting to an endpoint and downloading the update.

Next Steps:

  • Stream data to a Kafka pipeline
  • Integrate the Kafka pipeline with an Apache Spark stream
  • Store the processed data in a database
  • Forward data from Apache Spark to RabbitMQ
  • Deliver RabbitMQ messages to a web server
  • Stream real-time updates to a web client using Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Design an intuitive frontend to display live data

Is this architecture overkill? Probably. But learning through real, meaningful projects makes knowledge stick—and this one is close to my heart.
