Enchanted Objects - Enchanted Clock #9 (Chrystal's Update #2)

Happy Fathers Day everyone (Especially my Dad),

 

So my Dad is real happy with what I have done with the temperature control. He has now challenged me with the issue of the thermostat being across the room from the clock. He has asked me to have the motor run wireless from the Arduino to set the temperature. I have thought this out for the past 2 days and came up with a perfect solution. I designed a way to have the Arduino send a laser beam to a photoresistor on the other side of the room. This will let the power at the motor through and make the temperature raise or lower. Below is a diagram of what I am doing, Pictures will be uploaded today when we have this made and working. Dad is soldering everything right now.

 

Update in a couple of hours!!

    Thank you all for the great comments!! Chrystal and I are having a wonderful time doing this project. With this being the last week we are really pulling it together for completion. A mishap the other day threatened our completion but we feel we will get done (I had torn a ligament in my hand). We have gotten so far we have to complete.

     

    Dale and Chrystal
