Smart Battery Swapping Station Controller With Automated Capacity Billing And State Of Health Check

This project involves an Internet of Things (IoT) setup that monitors battery swapping stations and sends data to a Laravel backend. The collected data is used to power a Flutter application, allowing users to view details about the battery swapping stations.

This IoT project utilizes NodeMCU and Arduino Uno to monitor battery swapping stations and gather relevant data. The data is then sent to a Laravel backend, which is utilized by a Flutter application for visualizing information about the battery stations.

Once the setup is complete and the devices are powered on, the system will automatically start monitoring the battery swapping stations and sending data to the Laravel backend. The data can then be utilized by a Flutter application to provide users with real-time information about the battery stations.
