DEVLOG #1

This is a summary about what I did from day 1 to day 3 (Today) of my newest project, a satelite, I hope u Like It:

Throughout the days, I dedicated myself to making it work, because I didn’t really have an image in my head of how I wanted the polished version to look, so I got to work.

I tested each component individually, which were:

1. DHT11: A humidity and temperature sensor.

2. LCD Screen.

3. PIR: Presence sensor (Although let’s call it a motion detector).

4. Buzzer: A little device that produces vibrations to generate sound.

5. LED: Just an LED.

6. Raspberry Pi Pico W: The brain of everything.

In general, I didn’t have many problems with the components, EXCEPT for the LCD screen. It gave me the most trouble because I had never worked with one before, and there I was for an hour trying to make it work.

Then I realized that I didn’t want to risk my components foolishly, so I did an online test (which I had to repeat because I didn’t do it right). But I already assembled it IRL, and these are its functions:

1. An LED that blinks slowly when the satellite is active.

2. The PIR detects when something moves in its field of vision, and triggers an alarm that is audible through the Buzzer, and the LED starts blinking faster.

3. The DHT11 measures the ambient temperature and humidity and displays it on the LCD screen.

4. The object is identified through a message on the screen.

There is another part of the project in development, and I hope to show it soon.
