PSYCHO-SYNC

Introduction

Hi I'm Ali & This Project is a Lightweight, Portable Directory Synchronization Device With External Memory for receiving Backup that does NOT Require a Host With Backup Power.

Dependency

• Arduino Board & And Other Module (Hardware)
• Psyncer Repository.

Installation

1. Required hardware

• Wemos D1 Mini

• microSD Card Adapter

• microSD Card (min.16GB max.256GB)

The Size Of The microSD card determines the sync memory capacity.

• Charge Module (ex. TP-4056TYPEC)

• Rechargeable ‌Battery

If You Don't want to use Battery and Charge Module Just Remove them ( 3 , 4 ) and Plug The Arduino Board to 5V BUT Remember You Don't Have Backup Power

• BreadBoard & Jumpers Wires (Optional)
