6.1. Goal#

Make a smart wardrobe

6.2. Materials#

1 x ELECFREAKS micro:bit Smart Home Kit 1 x corrugated board

6.3. Background#

What is smart wardrobe#

Smart wardrobe could automatically open and let people take cloth. A slight push and the door open.At the same time, wardrobe door was setted low noise, it will not disturb sleep.

Smart wardrobe operation#

Note: If there is a hint says some codebase will be deleted because of incompatibility. Don’t worry. You could go ahead as the hint or build a new item in item menu bar.

Step 2#

Drag on start from Basic and snap into set pull pin P2 to up.

Drag servo write pin from Pin, choose P7, set P7 to 180° and set door to -1 for closing the door。
