About

Hi, my name is Bruce, and today I created an inventory tracker using Arduino with MicroPython. This project helps track items automatically using technology. The main components include an Arduino board, which acts as the brain, and an IR sensor, which detects objects. When an item passes in front of the sensor, it sends a signal to the Arduino, which updates the count. This system reduces manual work and improves accuracy. Through this project, I learned how hardware and software work together. It also shows how simple automation can be used in shops, warehouses, and other real-life applications.

Remote Controlled Gate

The Remote Control Gate project by Bruce uses an Arduino Uno, IO receiver, servo motor, and remote control to automate gate opening and closing. When a button on the remote is pressed, the servo motor rotates the gate 180°, then after a delay, returns it to the closed position. The system efficiently controls motor power and responds only to remote input, simulating a secure and convenient home gate-opening experience. Although Bruce used a simulator due to hardware issues, the concept is practical for real-life applications like home security and vehicle access control.

Car parking sensor

Bruce's "Car Parking Sensor" is a practical micro:bit reverse parking aid. Ultrasonic sensor pings distance to obstacles; LED bar graph shows proximity—full red at <30cm, green safe >100cm. Forever loop updates readings 10x/second with smooth bar animation; buzzer beeps faster as danger nears (slow>80cm, rapid<40cm). Button A toggles metric/imperial; button B calibrates min distance. Variables track closest_reading, alert_threshold=50cm, beep_frequency; shake mutes audio. Custom car icon with distance number display. Essential driving safety tool!
