NFC Task Manager

Overview

NFC Task Manager is a hybrid project that combines the power of a Raspberry Pi and a mobile app to create a desk-based task manager. The system allows users to create tasks on their mobile phone and transfer them to a Raspberry Pi through NFC (Near Field Communication). The Raspberry Pi, equipped with a touchscreen, will display and manage the tasks. Users can navigate through the task list and remove tasks once completed.

Features

• Task Creation: Create tasks on the mobile app with a title, priority level, due date, and description.
• NFC Transfer: Seamlessly transfer tasks from the mobile app to the Raspberry Pi using NFC.
• Task Management: Display tasks on the Raspberry Pi's touchscreen, navigate through the list, and remove tasks from the active list once completed.

Technologies Used

• Raspberry Pi 4b: The core hardware that powers the desk task manager.
• NFC Hat PN532: NFC communication module for transferring tasks between the mobile app and the Raspberry Pi.
• Freenove 5" Touchscreen: Display interface for interacting with the task manager on the Raspberry Pi.
• Python: Backend programming languages used to manage tasks and NFC communication.
• React-Native: Framework for developing the cross-platform mobile app.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi 4b with Raspian OS installed,
• NFC Hat PN532,
• Freenove 5" Touchscreen,
• Mobile device with NFC capability (most smartphones today have NFC capabilities),
• Node.js installed for React-Native development.

Setup

1. Hardware Assembly:

• Attach the NFC Hat PN532 to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins.
• Connect the Freenove 5" touchscreen to the Raspberry Pi. A more detailed assembly guide will be available soon

2. Software Installation:

• Clone the repository:

  git clone https://github.com/Sp0k/NFCTM.git

• Navigate to the project directory:

  cd NFCTM

• Install required Python dependencies:

  pip install -r RPi/requirements.txt

• Set up the React-Native mobile app:

  cd mobile
  npm install

• Build and run the React-Native app on your mobile device.

3. Running the Project:

• Run the backend on the Raspberry Pi:

  cd RPi
  python3 main.py

• Use the mobile app to create tasks and transfer them to the Raspberry Pi via NFC.

Usage

1. Create a Task: Open the mobile app, create a task with the necessary details, and save it.
2. Transfer Task: Place your mobile device near the NFC reader on the Raspberry Pi to transfer the task.
3. Manage Tasks: Use the touchscreen on the Raspberry Pi to view and manage your tasks.
