Development of simple and low cost Android based wireless notice board

In this paper, the development of simple and low cost Android based wireless notice board is presented. The proposed system uses either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi based wireless serial data communication. For this purpose Android based application programs for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication between Android based personal digital assistant devices and remote wireless display board are used. At receiver end, a low cost microcontroller board (Arduino Uno) is programmed to receive and display messages in any of the above communication mode. Using the developed system, two different applications for displaying messages on a remote digital notice board and wireless person calling has been implemented. The developed system will therefore aims in wirelessly sharing the information with intended users and also helps in saving the time and the cost for paper and printing hardware.
