Abstract
In this research, we developed “ESPSAS” platform of IoT. It is based on ESP-12F, and the platform consists of three systems, thing system, website system and communication system. The platform solves the issues in art creation: the need for light, cheap chips in volume. In addition, another feature of the ESPSAS platform is its connection design. We propose a double-registered synchronization that confirms the complex communication within the thing system. We have already installed “ESPSAS” IoT Platform at Taipei Nan-men Elementary School in Taiwan and has run “Windflower ESPSAS” project, allowing students in elementary school to be makers and to create their own windflower things and to decorate the campus with social network art creation as their community cultural development on campus. Owing to the structure design of the windflower IoT thing and ESPSAS platform we developed, the windflower is a spinning pinwheel by day, a colorful lantern by night. People can appreciate the spinning of their own windflower on campus remotely via cellphone, and alter its light color remotely with cellphone. This study utilizes IoT technology to equip things and interfaces with transparency in a space, so that individual’s emotional memory may become transparent and extend from the campus into the cloud. We look forward to the applications of this outcome to more artistic design and creative fields in the days to come.
