Velorantcrow

Good morning! Here is an expert explanation of your Velorantcrow project, perfect for a blog post, presentation, or a detailed README file.
Velorantcrow is a smart, eco-friendly bike-sharing system designed to solve in-campus travel by allowing users to unlock and ride cycles using their smartphones.
The Problem ๐ก
Large university and corporate campuses often feel like small towns, requiring long walks between buildings, libraries, and cafes. This can be time-consuming, tiring, and inconvenient. While cycles are a great solution, managing a personal cycle can be a hassle, and traditional shared cycles often lack security and availability tracking.
The Solution: Velorantcrow ๐ฒ
Velorantcrow transforms a fleet of ordinary bicycles into a smart, on-demand transportation network. It provides a seamless solution where your smartphone becomes the digital key to your next ride, making campus travel quick, efficient, and enjoyable.
How It Works: The Tech Behind the Ride โ๏ธ
This project is a fantastic example of an IoT (Internet of Things) system, where hardware and software work together to create a real-world solution. The process is simple and elegant:
The Mobile App: A user opens the Velorantcrow mobile app (built with Dart, likely Flutter) on their phone. The app displays a map of all available cycles in real-time.
The Scan & Unlock: The user walks up to a cycle and scans a QR code using the app.
The Bluetooth Handshake: The app securely sends an "unlock" command to the cycle's hardware using a low-energy Bluetooth connection.
The Brains: An Arduino Uno microcontroller, the "brain" of the system, receives this command via an HC-05 Bluetooth module. It then executes the code (
cycleStation.ino
) to disengage the physical lock, allowing the ride to begin.Key Features ๐ฑ
Velorantcrow is more than just a smart lock; it's a complete user-focused platform.
Seamless QR Code Unlocking: A quick and intuitive way to start a ride without physical keys or cards.
Real-Time Cycle Map: Users can instantly see where the nearest available cycle is, saving them from wandering around searching for one.
Personal Ride History: The app keeps a log of all past trips, allowing users to track their travel and usage.
Rewards for Riding: To encourage eco-friendly travel, the system includes a points system where users earn redeemable coupons for local cafes or campus stores.
