PCBWay Christmas Big Sales & Discover the surprise and win a Robot Dog: pcbway.com/activity/christmas2023.html - My daughter started primary school this year, primary school is challenging for students and that's normal! But children sometimes avoid sharing how they are feeling with their parents. This is where I thought of a way to get feedback, and decided to make a mood tracker. The system includes two "thumbs", and has some LED strips to make it look fun. A simple distance sensor detects when the device is approached and the device is activated. An "up thumb" indicates a "good" mood and a "down thumb" indicates a "bad" mood, and a different colored light appears for each mood expression. The "mood tracker" provides feedback by e-mail through a Wi-Fi board and a few other tools. You can develop this project to find out how your students, family, or office colleagues are feeling, let's get started!
