9/27 Sparkfun sensors & Project ideas

Tatyana and I have flushed through more ideas for our final semester project. We would like to make an installation piece, maybe in the walkway of the second floor going between FAC and the library. In this installation we want to rely on motors and proximity sensors. Since completing the chapter 4 exercises,  this project seems very possible. I feel like what we want to achieve is basically a much larger, better version of the last chapter 4 exercise.

Here is the infrared sensor we think would fit to our project: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8958

Possible codes used with infrared sensors:

Examples for controlling a robot but I feel like all the links have helpful insight
