Goal
Build your own wireless door security!
Setting up alerts for any intruders or unlocked doors!
Materials
2 x Microbit
1 x Breakout Board
1 x Crash Sensor
1 x Buzzer
Step 1 – Setting Up!
Slot one of the micro:bit into the breakout board.
Connect the Buzzer to Pin 0 of the breakout board and the crash sensor to Pin 1.
Before moving on to Step 2, make sure you download the “tinkercademy-tinker-kit” package.
Step 2 – Code away!
Drag these set of codes into your makecode platform and download it into the micro:bit connected to your breakout board.
Give the crash sensor a few press to see if your code is working correctly!
Step 3 – Almost there!
Download this set of codes for the second micro:bit (receiver).
Now give test out the crash sensor to see if the receiving micro:bit is working correctly!
Now that you have set up your very first wireless door security, you can try it with more than just 1 door!
Feel free to also add add other form of alerts on the receiving micro:bit to enhance your own security.
