Laundry Detector

1/1

Description: The Laundry Detector is a personalized project that was a response to my washing machine not making any sound or light indicator whenever it was finished. As a result, I wanted to make something that would let me know when my laundry needed to be put into the dryer. As shown in this video, the detector is illuminating green for when it is available to load in laundry, red for when it is washing some laundry, and yellow when it has finished the laundry which is coupled with a buzzer that tells me that the laundry has finished.

Media: finger jointed laser cut acrylic, LEDs, wires, 3-axis accelerometer, active buzzer, optical proximity sensor
