Alarm! : A Protective Penumbra
Description:
Our project detects incoming objects, lights a number of pixels that represents that value, and then sounds an alarm and flashes the pixels if the object is too close.
Inspiration:
We were inspired to make this project as we were interested extending the capabilities of Arduino taught in our 290M class.
What it does:
Our project detects an incoming object. Once it reaches a certain threshold, it will sound an alarm and cause the neopixel LEDs to flash.
How we built it:
We used the Arduino IDE to configure the hardware and Android Studio to develop the app.
Challenges we ran into:
We faced challenges in implementing the desired lights on and with making the app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
We are proud of implementing the LEDs and the wifi.
What we learned:
We learned the basics of Android app creation and how to efficiently manipulate lights for the project.
What's next:
We plan on continuing developing the app for this project and improving the website.
Built with:
Arduino IDE, Android Studio, Arduino Maker Board
Prizes we're going for:
Arteck HB030 Portable Keyboard
Raspberry Pis & PiHut Essential Kits
HAVIT RGB Mechanical Keyboard
