Process

1. In the first iteration, we experimented with using a wind sensor on a single device. We designed a simple circuit to understand the mechanism of the wind sensor by changing the state of an LED through blowing air. This helped us learn how the wind sensor performs continuous readings and controls outputs.
2. In the second iteration, we developed a more complex workflow to refine the concept of our "kiss communicator." Using Particle’s webhook feature, we connected two devices, replaced the LED with a Neopixel, and added a button to simulate the experience of "starting the recording."
3. In the final iteration, we built on the previous designs and added the functionality to transmit the number of breaths (or kisses). User 1 could send any number of kisses to User 2. In this iteration, the process began with User 1 pressing the button, triggering the Neopixel to flash red, indicating the start of the recording. User 1 would then blow air several times before releasing the button to send the kisses. Upon completion, User 2’s device would display the corresponding number of kisses as transmitted by User 1’s device.

These iterations laid a solid foundation for the future development of our final reinterpretation project.
