I have an offline bicycle-sharing system that works well. However, I plan to take it online and would like to use a vehicle tracker so that I don't have to develop hardware from scratch.
Currently, the system operates as follows: A user generates a release through a Bubble.io web app, the site provides a password, and the user enters it on the bicycle's panel, which is managed by an ESP32. After entering the password, the lock opens, and the bicycle is released from the rack.
I intend to continue using the same bike rack and the same electric lock. To operate the electric lock, I am thinking of using the lock and unlock feature that automotive trackers have.
Through the Bubble web app, the user clicks the release button, and somehow, I need this to communicate with Traccar, which sends the signal to the tracker to release the lock. Since the solenoid of the electric lock cannot be activated 100% of the time, I can create an automatic action in Bubble to deactivate this solenoid.
I need to know if this is feasible? My main requirement is the API; with an API, I can make it work.
P.S.: I am an intermediate programmer on Bubble.io; I discovered Traccar just last week.
There is an API available.
Is there a tutorial where I can learn more about this?
I want to learn so I don't have to rely on someone else to do it.
