Development of an IOT based digital notice board

Abstract

A notice board is an essential part of any educational institution because it is a common medium of communication with every body of that institution. In educational institutes, permission and signatures are generally taken from the academicians and institution authorities on the notice. However, this process creates different complexities in most cases. In this project, the main objective is to develop an IoT based Raspberry Pi equipped digital notice board which enables university authority to display notices on the digital monitor by posting the notices from anywhere. To meet the objectives, a digital notice board system has been developed for educational institutions that can reduce a huge load of paper and pencils while displaying the notices on the digital board in a comfortable way. Moreover, a web application has been developed through which users can send data through the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system has been implemented using a number of tools and technologies such as MySQL, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Bootstrap, jQuery and Ajax. In addition to these, this system provides an easy, fast, and reliable way of showing the notices attractively on an LCD monitor for an educational institution where faculty members, students, and university administration would be able to communicate conveniently. More work needs to be done in areas like developing a mobile app for the e-notice board to increase user outreach to information.
