Assignment week 6
I propose to control my blow dryer. For my final project I was thinking about doing something like this that would be able to turn on something that blows and can movie things through the air from a distance. I wanted to attach a balloon filled with confetti and hopefully it will blow up the balloon until it pops and confetti flies everywhere. I wanted to use a motion detector that would keep blowing up the balloon if people keep moving, but that wasn't possible.
I will have to use a dawn to dusk sensor at Home Depot in order to plug the blow dryer into. I am going to do this because it's safe, and trying to work with a blow dryer plug and socket would be too dangerous. So when someone shines a light in the sensor, then the blow dryer should turn on. Maybe I could make a game out of it how the people have to keep the flashlight in the sensor and race to see who could blow up the balloon faster. But I will have to see how the sensor works.
