/challenges-projects/project14/buildapresent/b/blog/posts/blind-stickI have made a simple blind stick. This can be helpful to blind people. I have used a SONAR sensor, an Arduino UNO, some jumper wires and a buzzer. Arduino UNO is the brain of this project. The SONAR sensor and a buzzer is connected to the ardui...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/buildapresent/b/blog/posts/blind-stickFri, 04 Feb 2022 14:10:28 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1398222c-af8f-435b-adae-7b13e8e1967erobogary0<p>nice thoughtful project.&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=22827&AppID=345&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/buildapresent/b/blog/posts/blind-stickThu, 20 Jan 2022 18:02:40 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1398222c-af8f-435b-adae-7b13e8e1967ebeacon_dave1<p>Perhaps a compass with audible/haptic feedback might be useful addition ?</p> <p>I&#39;ve encountered visually impaired people who have lost their sense of orientation in unfamiliar open spaces.
