The assignment
For my final engineering project at Fairfield Prep, the challenge was to solve a practical problem using Arduino and ultrasonic sensors. I chose parking assistance: helping a driver judge the distance to a nearby obstacle.
The prototype
I worked with Will Smith on the coding, wiring, enclosure, and testing. The sensor measured distance, while an LCD and buzzer gave visual and audible warnings as an object got closer.
