Problem / objective

Combine multiple sensors and clear audio-visual feedback into a compact alarm prototype.

Design process

  • Connected tilt and ultrasonic sensors to an Arduino-based circuit.
  • Programmed buzzer and LED feedback for the alarm behavior.
  • Debugged the circuit and sensor logic through hands-on testing.

Technical decisions

Circuit diagram, trigger thresholds, and enclosure decisions — add when available.

Testing & validation

Tested sensor inputs, alarm activation, and feedback behavior during prototyping.

Results

Final demo video and measured sensing range — add when available.

Challenges

Coordinating sensor readings and feedback reliably on a breadboarded prototype.

What I learned

How hardware wiring, sensor behavior, and control logic interact in an embedded system.
