Inspiration

Relative proximity detection mechanics like in games that implement it.

What it does

Sends 4 supersonic "chirps" in the 4 cardinal directions and calculates the distance away from the relative position of the device. When the calculated distance is below a certain threshold, it "trips" and displays which direction the threat is approaching from.

How we built it

Using 2 Arduino UNOs (Elegoo R3 UNO) and 4 HR-SR04 sensors. Along with a cardboard construct to act as a shell for the project.

Challenges we ran into

Sensor readings overwriting each other, and communication between 2 Arduinos.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Serial communication between two Arduinos

What we learned

How to communnicate between two Arduinos, and how to process the information between them.

What's next for Threat Detector System

Omni-directional detection, wireless tranmission from even further detection.
