PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Mosquitoes are often called one of the most dangerous animals on the planet (https://www.businessinsider.com/11-reasons-mosquitoes-are-the-worst-2014-4). Mosquito-killing swatter is one of weapons to kill them, however, it is battery powered which is difficult to provide 24x7 operation.

This project demonstrates how to leverage WizFi360 EVB Pico, solar panel, power bank, and swatter to implement a sustainable energy 24x7 mosquito-killing application.

A solar panel provides energy on charging power bank which powers WizFi360-EVB-Pico and mosquito-swatter. WizFi360-EVB-Pico turns swatter on and off to reduce power consumption. It also reports battery status to cloud by WizFi360 WiFi module.
