Halloween is near so I have wanted to use my new Elegoo Super starter Kit to do a Sensitive Jack-o'-Lantern.
I'm thinking about a lantern which change its color when someone passes in front of it, but I want also to control the light and the sensor.
Now we see how to do that.
HARDWARE:In this case the circuit is quite easy, there are an ultrasonic sensor, an IR Receiver Module, some LEDs and transistors.
For the first time, thanks to Elegoo, I can use an IR Remote Control, so with this I can control the lantern.
This is the circuit diagram:
I haven't wanted to use a real pumpkin but I have wanted to build it by myself.
I need two things:
- A photo of a jack-o'-lantern
- A sheet
In this way I can print the photo on the sheet and with a pedestal I can substain the jack-o'-lantern and all circuits.
I created this structure with some cardboard which will sustain the lantern, in this way I can also hide the ultrasonic sensor.
All circuits stand in this structure.
You can do it with other materials such wood or plastic.
I put the circuits on the bottom and all LEDs on the vertical layer, in this way the jack-o'-lantern's photo covers the LEDs but the final effect is a light inside the our "pumpkin."
Finally, this is my project I know it can have some defects but for me the idea is good and it is easy and rapid to do.
