Companion mobile app for the common core course CCST9015 (https://commoncore.hku.hk/ccst9015) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). In this course, students will explore sensors, camera, audio, robotics, and AI technologies using Raspberry Pi computers. The app is designed to assist students to pair up their Pis in the flipped classroom environment.
This app communicates to a Raspberry Pi over Bluetooth for configuring its Wi-Fi network connection and obtaining its current IP address, using the Blue Raspberry (https://github.com/MacroYau/BlueRaspberry) technology. In this way, it is no longer necessary to have each Pi connected to physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Students can access the Pis in the space-constrained classroom using their own devices with a VNC remote desktop viewer.
