Executive Summary
In the Project we are using a 7” LED Touch panel to display sensor data and control outputs. Sensor data that will be displayed on the screen include two independent temperature measurements. The data will be displayed in number and through a graph. For monitoring the temperature behavior over time. Additionally, the 12V battery voltage will be measured and displayed. The GUI include Buttons to control a one channel relay to switch on led Lights.

Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

Installation Instructions
GitHub The project is located on GitHub here:

In the Github repository, you will find a README file with all necessary installation.

User Instructions
Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights
Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo the audio description.

Theory of Operation
For our communication we used Slack. Slack is a open source cloud-based messenger service. Additional our Milestone plan shows our time



Work Breakdown
For our Project, we separated the work-tasks in 3 packages.

Package 1 ( Daniel Patzer) - Prototype design and Hardware selection - relay control with button interface

Package 2 ( Marius Schwab) - Software development --> clock function, clock alarm --> temperature reading of 2 sensors - implementation in GUI

Package 3 (Vinzenz Felder) - GUI design - GUI programming (implementation of GUI function, etc.) - documentation

Future Work
The main aim of this project is to build a universal usable control element for a camper. Therefore we have integrated relays to control the specific function of a camper, like the lights or the pump. To execute all the function we design a GUI to easly control the function. On a 7 inch Touch Screen you can control the function. Additional we added features like a timer to control the function of the camper with timing. Of course, a clock is displayed and the temperature from the inside and outside is calculated.

Conclusions
This project is still just a prototype. For a real implementation, additional functions should be integrated:
