cap or hat

Step 2:  Mount the  Accelerometer sensor to a small breadboard 

Follow the steps outlined in the Adafruit website:

Step 3 : Attach accelerometer to your arduino

Step 4: Wire vibrating motor to circuit

Step  5: Upload code and test

Step 6: Put it altogether

 

1. peper shaker

Pepper shaker can be a music instrument.

If you make a rhythm during shaking it, it will play music in the same rhythm.

2. hearband or any wearable form to wake you up

If you nod , the hair band will alarm to wake you up

(It could be sound, vibration, lighting)

3. Tissue hodler.

The Tissue holder can inform you about how much tissue left now.

or when you pull the tissue, the music will start and also you can control the speed of music by rotating tissue.

4. Umbrella.

It might be interesting when you open the umbrella, a lot of lighting which is inside the umbrella will turn on.

(I’ll think about other ideas relating to umbrella handle)

5. zipper lighting 

6.eye patch

For my switch project, I mad a key ring with lighting when you hang it at the key hanger

I often forget to bring my key when I go out. Therefore if there is a light that  informs me to bring the key by lighting.

The lighting scarf is for people who like to go outside and take a walk at night

When it’s too dark outside you can turn on the light of the scarf.

I used 6 LED to make the lighting scarf and made a wire to fit into my scarf.
