Project Deep Dive

Exploring the challenges, solutions, and key learnings from this project.

Challenges

Making an app that works equally well whether you're connected to wifi or just Bluetooth. Also figuring out how to push firmware updates to hardware through a mobile app without bricking anything.

Solutions

Built the app to automatically switch between internet and Bluetooth depending on what's available. Created a safe update system that shows progress and can roll back if something goes wrong.
