Moving Forward

The demo worked great and properly served its function as a demonstration. Aside from the piezo buzzer, no other big problems arose. The overall process was fun and enjoyable, and I achieved the goals that I had set. Moving forward, this project would need to be scaled up to the size of a room or home. Separate microcontrollers would be needed for the light sensors and pressure sensors, and larger pressure sensors would be ideal. The pressure sensors would also need to be calibrated for average human weights so that pets and the like don't set off the alarm. Finally, an application could be developed to allow control of the system through a phone or computer.
