Hi everyone,
excited to join the community 
I am currently planning a project in which people should be able to take a quiz with 4 questions. If they get all questions right, they should be rewarded with candy from a 3d printed dispenser run by a servo (like sg90).
Requirements: The quiz needs to run on a separate screen. I was thinking about a cheapish android tablet. The servo is physically 3 meters apart (no cable possible). The servo could be run by a esp32.
The tablet should only show the quiz and should not be able to be used differently. Maybe I print a frame, so the rest of the display can't be touched?
My problem is how to connect the two devices and get the input once the quiz is correct...
My thoughts:
- Run the quizz using a website (hosted on the ESP32). Open this website on the tablet. Would this work and look good?
- Write a program with python and run that on the tablet. Is it easy to control the esp32 via python from the tablet?
- Write an android app for the quiz. Can this connect to the esp32?
I saw option to connect the device with android cloud. The problem: The dashboards are useless to me, since the quiz cannot be implemented. Right?
Also, I would like to receive a message (Email, etc) when the candy dispenser is running low. If I could also count all the people in front of the device, that would be awesome too...
I would love your feedback on easy ways to implement this.
Thank you so much!
Best,
Jakob
