WEEK 10 Prototype Interactions

There's still a few issues to work out in the code, mainly regarding the anti-clockwise rotation speed when the object contracts. I may also need to calibrate how sensitive the photoresistor is, and adjust the threshold for when stretches are performed incorrectly.



Components I've used in the circuit

Photo-Resistor 
This senses light from morning sunshine entering the room, and acts a switch for the object to begin moving.

Ultrasonic Sensor
This is used to determine proximity and position of arms stretching towards the object


Servo Motor 
This rotates 45° to expand and contract the fan segment

Piezo Buzzer
This plays 4 unique tones;
Tone 1- Indicates when a correctly performed stretch has begun
Tone 2 - A counter tone indicates how long to hold the stretch for
Tone 3 - An alert tone if a stretch is performed incorrectly
Tone 4 - A celebratory tone for when a set of repetitions is performed

This is the stretch being performed. The user stretches their arms towards the objects sensor, which is mounted on the wall facing them.
