Mini Project based on Arduino

For the mini project I will be making a touch sensitive box which will display a message or a word once touched. For this project I’ll be using a seven segment display screen and a motion sensor. The sensor will be attached to the box so every time one picks up the box a message will appear.

The box will hide all the wiring, no USB connection will be visible, and as this is the requirement of the exercise. The idea is to engage the user with the design.

For wireless technology such as Bluetooth, Infrared there is another type of Arduino but I’ll be using the old technology of Arduino as I don’t require my Arduino to be wireless.

Purpose of the project is to get back into the Arduino and try new codes for ourselves. Try the sensors and come up with something small but realist.

The only interactivity in the mini project will be to pick the box to see what comes up on the display screen.
