and really wet weather ruined Lorraine&rsquo;s capacitive touch buttons on her last element14 video. This time she was determined to find multiple weatherproof solutions to allow her neighbors to control RGB lights in her sitting-room window. Lorraine built a motion distance sensor using a time of flight sensor and a micro:bit. The neighbors can now control the color of the lights by moving their hands back and forward in front of the sensor. Then, using a Raspberry Pi and an infrared camera, Lorraine tracked whole body movement using pose detection. Raising&nbsp;the right hand changes the lights to red, raising&nbsp;the left hand changes to lights to blue. </span></p> <p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid

and really wet weather ruined Lorraine&rsquo;s capacitive touch buttons on her last element14 video. This time she was determined to find multiple weatherproof solutions to allow her neighbors to control RGB lights in her sitting-room window. Lorraine built a motion distance sensor using a time of flight sensor and a micro:bit. The neighbors can now control the color of the lights by moving their hands back and forward in front of the sensor. Then, using a Raspberry Pi and an infrared camera, Lorraine tracked whole body movement using pose detection.

and really wet weather ruined Lorraine&rsquo;s capacitive touch buttons on her last element14 video. This time she was determined to find multiple weatherproof solutions to allow her neighbors to control RGB lights in her sitting-room window. Lorraine built a motion distance sensor using a time of flight sensor and a micro:bit. The neighbors can now control the color of the lights by moving their hands back and forward in front of the sensor. Then, using a Raspberry Pi and an infrared camera, Lorraine tracked whole body movement using pose detection. Raising&nbsp;the right hand changes the lights to red, raising&nbsp;the left hand changes to lights to blue. </span></p> <p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid
