Build your own bus shelter for less than 10$

I want to show you how to build your own bus shelter using some basic electronic components and a 3D printer to pack all these stuffs.

The result in a short video

GitHub repo

GitHub | Arduinobribus | @joeybronner One you cloned the repo, you have to adapt some variables of the code: the missionId and the stationId where you take your bus. Please follow the few steps below…

Step 1: Mission ID

Find the id related to the mission, in the file located under https://github.com/joeybronner/arduinobribus/tree/master/json/bus_missions.json\ Mission object looks like:

{
  "id":"100100020",
  "name":"Gare de Lyon / Gare Saint-Lazare",
  "shortName":"B20",
  "image":"b20.gif"
}

Change the sMissionId value in https://github.com/joeybronner/arduinobribus/tree/master/arduino/arduino.ino with the id of your mission.\ Example: 100100099 in my case

Step 2: Station ID

Open the following URL with your own mission ID: http://restratpws.azurewebsites.net/api/stations/ and get the id of your station.\ Station object looks like:

{
    "id":"PC3_1039_1091",
    "name":"Camille Flammarion"
}

Change the sStationId value in https://github.com/joeybronner/arduinobribus/tree/master/arduino/arduino.ino with the id of your station.\ Example: PC3_1047_1074 in my case

Step 3: Way (A/R)

The last value is the way of the bus (“a” or “r”).\ To know the way, open the following URL with your own http://restratpws.azurewebsites.net/api/directions/.\ Direction object looks like:

[
    {
        "way":"A",
        "name":"Porte Maillot"
    },
    {
        "way":"R",
        "name":"Skanderbeg"
    }
]

Change the sWay value in https://github.com/joeybronner/arduinobribus/tree/master/arduino/arduino.ino with the way you want to display.\ Example: “a” in my case

All you need is available on AliExpress for less than 10$ (printing price included):

The printing model is available in the GitHub repo here: 3D models. You can print it using any cheap printer you want, it will be printed in less than 2 hours.
