Problem Statement

Lighting in our dorms is terrible. It can get very difficult to do makeup, groom, or even see the actual colors of your outfit throughout the day. Things need to brighten up.

Goal

Add a light to the dorm mirror so that the mirror can actually be used. In this case, rather than a push button, the system relies on a passive method of activation with a motion sensor. If the sensor detects someone in front of it, it will light up for a short time, renewed with more movement. This solution also doubled as a non-invasive night light that both roommates appreciate.

Parts:

-Arduino

-PIR sensor

-6 FLood LEDs

-Loose Wire

-USB A to B Cable

-USB A to Wall Adapter
