Inspiration
Privacy in the shared dorm room
What it does
Curtain raised and lowered by pressing buttons on an Android app connected via Bluetooth, with additional features of a clock and a speaker that can play the notes equivalent of a song
How we built it
We used Arduino nano, a stepper motor, a Bluetooth module, and MIT app inventor.
Challenges we ran into
Bluetooth didn't always connect, wiring was complicated and could get undone, hardware failure
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the Bluetooth working, completing a working project in the time given
What we learned
Sometimes the hardware itself can be unreliable and cause unforeseen hardships; ideas that work in theory can sometimes run into unexpected obstacles in execution
What's next for Human Cave
Expanding the clock to be able to be set as an alarm, making a full size version of the prototype we created as this project, adding lights to the curtain
