The current COVID crisis has inspired ingenuity on the part of makers - in deploying technology to meet new challenges. The humble store-bought sanitizer has become a vital aid in battling viruses - yet it still requires touch to operate, something which isn't ideal for safe use. In this workshop, we'll show you how to modify your out of the box dispenser with some compact technology to go touch-free! No need to push a button any more, just wave your hand in front of the sensor and the sanitizer liquid is automatically pumped into your palm. Hardware required: - Store-bought sanitizer dispenser - Arduino Uno - Servo motor - Infrared sensor - A few jumper cables Software required: - Arduino IDE ----------------------------------------- To learn more about The Assembly’s workshops, visit our website, social media or email us at workshops@theassembly.ae ➡ Website: theassembly.ae ➡ Follow us on our social media: • Instagram: instagram.com/makesmartthings • Facebook: fb.com/makesmartthings • Twitter: twitter.com/makesmartthings
