Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Weekend Project: Walabot Halloween Haunt”.
Oh, I want to add a little more of the supernatural to your Halloween Haunt. The wampum is a 3d imaging sensor and personal radar. It can see through solid objects, sense movement in a room and even determine a person’s heart rate. In this weekend, project developed by Sam Brown we’ll be using the Walla box ability to see through walls and doors, to detect trick-or-treaters as they go door to door and give them a book shot as they approach your home. With this project, you’ll need the wall bot a Raspberry Pi and some speakers you’ll.
Add some RGB LED strips and basic electronic components to a jacket to give your unwanted guests, the fright of their life, begin by setting up the software to run the Raspberry Pi download, a fresh copy of raspbian and flash it to an SD card set up. Your PI using R as pi config and then give the us the full upgrade to treatment. Next, we need to install a wall about API in its Python libraries, and then we need to make a small change. Tiff config file in the raspberry pi boot folder. With that done, shut down, the pie doesn’t provide enough power over its USB ports to support the wallet so connected to the PI via a USB hub power, the PI back on and cologne, the wala bot demo app from their git repo and then run it.
You should see an array of numbers representing the sensor output from the wallah box, move it around or wave your hands in front of the sensor. If they change. You know it’s working, follow the link below for detailed project instructions, download and install the email, library and finally clone the git repo for the app there’s, a handy, sound check out to make sure your speakers are working yeah and you can also check the functionality of The haunting app itself, but before we’re done, we need to wire up the LED strips start by inserting the MOSFETs into the breadboard wire up the source pins for all three MOSFETs to a common rail on the breadboard. This will be our ground rail wire. The drain pin to the color control leads of the LED strip green red. Then blue, finally, connect the gate.
Pins of the PI’s GPIO pins, 33, 35 and 37 respectively connect the ground pin 39 to the ground, set up earlier. Finally, trim the barrel connector off the end of the power supply and strip the wires use a multimeter to determine the positive lead positive should power. The 12-volt pin of the LED strip and ground should complete our ground round now, you’re ready to set up your haunting. It’S a good idea to mount the Raspberry, Pi and breadboard to a mounting board to secure your wiring mount the wall about to the inside of your door and tuck. The Raspberry Pi somewhere out of the way, run audio cable and LED strip to your jack-o’-lantern. Through a gap in the door, booth up, high and you’re all set the wala bot will detect trick-or-treaters as they approach your house and will attempt to playfully frighten them away. You would do its best work in spooky houses and haunted forests if it is struggling to detect mortal Souls make sure there isn’t too much metal in your environment. We also want to take a moment to thank wala watt for sponsoring this video and making it possible happy haunting, we’ll see you in the next weekend project you, you .
