Inspiration
Our team really wanted to learn how to use some of the cool hardware available.
What it does
The device detects motion and alerts users using a piezo-electric buzzer.
How we built it
We connected a buzzer and motion sensor to a Raspberry Pi using a breadboard. The device is controlled by a laptop running Python that was connected by an ethernet cable.
Challenges we ran into
There were no jumper cables, so we had to innovate a way to connect the wires to the Raspberry Pi. Also, none of us had any experience using Raspberry Pi, so it was challenging to learn.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We started to learn how to use a new device - Raspberry Pi - that we were not previously familiar with.
What we learned
It takes a lot of components and patience to learn how to use a new device.
What's next for Motion Control Sensor
Learn how to adapt Raspberry Pi to take in audio inputs.
