Reflection

I realized there is value in actually trying to situate your project in a real environment. Thinking of the questions I posed above (i.e. how is it triggered) helped me to hone in on a specific use case. However, I also realized that there is a lot of benefit in actually trying out the prototype and having other people try it. Doing this not only helped me determine that it would be best to paint the box but it also helped me realize the potential misuse of the product.

There is definitely more that I would want to do with my project, such as wiring up the particle photon so that it’s completely working remotely and having the heating pad and fan properly working. I’d also want to continue to explore the potential uses of Tinker since it could most likely come in handy for future projects.
