Making of

This section will focus on the materials and components that I used to create this prototype as well as the each functionality of the corresponding electronic components, this page aims to explain in detail for those who want to understand more about the project.

Essential electronics

Arduino can be seen as the heart of this project, It is a microcomputer that is able to control the electronic parts which were used for different functions, by connecting it to the computer, it allows me to upload the code I wrote to the Arduino board itself which is wired to other different electronic parts.

The ultra sonic distance sensor is used for detection of distance between it and the closest object it is facing by making use of sound wave. In this project it was used in order to detect user's presence by detecting if there is a person sitting in front of the device, which is why it is designed to be placed in front of where the user usually sits when he/she studies.

Buzzer is a simple implementation that can be used to produce a buzzing sound, in this case an active buzzer was used for simpler coding, passive buzzer on the other hand could change the tone of the buzzing such that it is able to create musical rhytheme if it is programming correctly.

Neo pixel strip is a strip of LED that can be used to display different colors by coding the RGB values. In this project it was simply used for emitting a green light that help the user notice so that the next step can proceed (get back to study in this case).
