This is a small software. We want to make a software able to use a USB relay Board with USB inputs or an Arduino. We will setup and control 2-6 power generators (or battery packs). We must be able to turn off and on anyone of the 2-6 gensets and control their operation and fuel consumption. We will operate the gensets according to a weekly time plan which we will be able to change anytime. The application will also control 2 cameras and we must be able to Access it and control the gensets from anywhere with a tablet via Internet.
The Software will have 3 main procedures
1) Manufacturer. We will setup all the gensets and make data entry of the service needs (hours of use and service description) of each genset
2) Administrator. We will preprogram the weekly time plan
3) User. We will monitor the 2-6 gensets while they work. Anytime some gensets will work and some other will not work.
We will monitor the fuel consumption, the power output and temperature of oil in some cases.
-----------------
The application will be easy because we will do some work for you and we will provide you
1) the photos for the GUI you will need
2) the flow charts of all the 3 procedures of the program.
3) Detailed informations about the hardware (relays and power relays, digital fuel pump, amp meters and digital thermometers) and source code showing how you will read their values.
----
In case you will need arduino then we will need maximum 35 pins (mixed outputs and inputs)
-----
pin 1-6 = +5V output for signal relays
pin 7-12 = +5V input (check)
pin 13-14 = 5V pulse input count (fuel consumption)
Fuel flow meter 0-10LPM

Thank you
I am a mechatronics engineer. I have had a lot of experience with arduino related projects as well as interfacing it with a tablet. I can also create applications for android, general PCB layout and shields for arduino.
not an easy job, after delivered you still need to test and we have to discuss on process step and condition.
I write main program using visual basic, and .net framework is need. if you use windows pc, then it suitable. tablet is android or win? or webbase ui.
I have experienced make controller using arduino and gui on windows with process is editable.
