A touchy Bubbler

After weeks of intense research and tears, a bubble machine was born...but not just any bubble machine! It's a touch activated bubble machine, that will turn on at the tap of a finger!

hard to believe, yes! Impossible? Never!

here is a picture of the works, using arduino and some brain power!

Pressure Sensor

After scouring for a capacitance sensor, i stumbled upon this arduino forum and built a sensor that is sensitive to touch. I experimented using an aluminum foil, breadboard, 3 wires, one IR light, and 1K resistor.

and breadboard



using code from the forum website mentioned above

and the result is dynamic!!

LED sensor

This is an infrared sensor that will be used as a prototype for bubbletto. The setup and code can be seen here.

a demo on the awesomnesssssss

And Now we build

After receiving the lovely arduinos , we rolled up our sleeves and started building some.

The progress is coming along swimmingly, and as of now, are working on making a sound system arduino with a wave-shield and setup and an infrared sensor to act as a trigger for the projector (pico 2) to turn on.
