OC Transpo Audrino

Using Audrino with an ESP8266WiFi sensor, we can access the OC Transpo API to make a bus tracker.

Board Requirements

For this project I used the following board and shelid;

Name	Website
Wemos D1 Mini Pro	https://www.wemos.cc/product/d1-mini-pro.html
Wemos OLED Shield	https://www.wemos.cc/product/oled-shield.html

As long as the board contains a ESP8266WiFi board which is required to access the internet, the screen is also not required since you can get the information based on light codes.

How to read the bus tracker

There are two main ways to use this board. If you perfer to just use a light to tell you if the bus is close or use a OLED screen to view the status.

Reading the light

Light Pattern	Description
No Light	Do not leave for the bus, too far away
Solid Light	Leave now to arrive to stop
Blinking Light	Wait for the next bus. Bus at the stop.

Reading OLED display

Once it connects to the internet and retrives the OC Transpo API you will be shown on the display with a number.

Building

1. Change the API App ID and Secret code.
2. Change the route number (Example: 118)
3. Change the bus stop. (Can be found on the bus stop signs. This determines the direction of the route.)
4. Change the go time variable.
5. Change the wait time variable.
6. Change WiFi Host
7. Change WiFi Password
8. Change the bus name.

Future Updates

• Animations between screen
• Ability to cycle between two routes.
• Better leaving predictions.
• Better optimization with calls.
• Better WiFi optimization (Reconnection functionality)
