Reflection

Overall, I had a very fun time exploring what the things an Arduino could do and its limitations. To make the final product look more like a real product, there needs to be a lot of work to cover the Arduino and all the wiring. I think I’m still pretty far from getting to that real-looking product but it was still exciting to build one from scratch and package it. For future projects, I want to start ideating earlier so that I have more time to actually test out all the parts and iterate on features. For this project, because of the time limit, I didn’t put enough support for the doorbell part so it broke when people pressed it very hard. Overall, I think I achieved what I imagined, other than the breaking part on Demo day. I’m looking forward to applying the lessons I learned to future projects.
