Jim's paint problem

MoonCampaign by Vaibhav (VR) (13 years)

My project is a distance sensor designed to help Jim, a painter, calculate the area of walls in his house and estimate the painting cost. Using a Moonpreneur prototyping kit, I built a model with an ultrasonic sensor, push buttons, LEDs, and an Arduino Mini. The sensor measures wall dimensions automatically, and the code calculates the area and cost, with options to change units and currency. This project demonstrates real-world applications in architecture and engineering. By following the design process—empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test—I created a functional tool that is portable, interactive, and educati

All about Vaibhav (VR) project

I created a distance sensor, inspired by a real-life problem faced by a painter named Jim. Jim wanted to calculate the area of walls in his house accurately to determine the amount of paint required and estimate costs. I chose this project because it combined three months of learning in class with a real-world application, allowing me to engage with the design process fully.

Using the Moonpreneur prototyping kit, I built a compact distance sensor that includes an ultrasonic sensor, push buttons, LEDs, and an Arduino Mini. The ultrasonic sensor calculates the distance, while the buttons allow the user to switch between different screens, such as choosing units, measuring dimensions, calculating area, and estimating costs. The LED display shows information, and the system can also convert currency, making it usable internationally.
