Hi everyone! I want to tell you about our new awesome LEGO SPIKE project that I built with Yue. We worked on something super funâa camping animal alarm!
The idea behind this project is that a camper goes on a camping trip, and at night, he wants to see what animals are sneaking around his tent. To help him, we built a special animal alarm. It can light up and even make sounds to scare the animals away, which later ends up as a light showđ
We built this using LEGO Hub with two switches. One switch connected to a light, and the other connected to a camera. The camera could âseeâ animals, and when an animal with a certain colour passed by the camera, the light would shine. Later, I recorded some sounds to make the alarm even better.
The best part was creating multicoloured creatures and seeing how the alarm reacted. When I held up my colorful creature in front of the camera, it played all kinds of sounds. For example: âThis is a green creature, … This is a red creature, … This is a yellow creature!â
Another thing I loved about this project was the counter. It showed how many creatures passed by using a bar chart. For each new creature, the chart added a color. It was so cool to see the project count and record all the colourful animals!
