Component Inventory System

I just started developing a system to quickly find and take inventory of all the components in our robotics space!
Planned features:

  • Manage components from web portal
  • Barcode integration
  • Connection to LEDs on the shelf
  • Amount tracking

Someone say something so i don’t loose motivation :pensive:

How will you log all of your parts?
Will it be available to the public?
And will it be for just V5 or VEX IQ as well?
Good luck!!!

Seems very cool. If it helps you go for it! Don’t forget to mention this in your notebook especially if you have a bill of materials for CAD.

I’ve found for shelf labels / small parts boxes to put a small picture of the item. While I know the real name of the parts, roboteers don’t , the pictures help.

Our teacher suggested something along the lines of a barcode system
In terms of counting inventory I still have to think more on this lol
About making it public, honestly it might be a while cuz this project is currently pretty terrible per my standards
VEX IQ is a maybe because its my first year in robotics and I am not familiar with the system, though theoretically it should be usable since you would just have to list the parts yourself.

little update, the previous UI component I was using (streamlit) had too many restrictions, so I’ve instead opted to use pyscript and essentially completely write the UI from scratch.
