Purpose
Below is the project I was doing in the semester, and basically I want to print a circuit board as a dimmer to control a normal lamp with 230 voltage. So that I can have the experience to make use of it to adapt it into normal life or homes.
I had experience with Arduino and programming parts, however what I did before was more limited only in prototypes. Therefore, I want to make some experiments to test the soldering and Arduino into real functional use.
Process
I ordered Sharp GP2YOA710KOF distance sensor, Vellman dimmer k8064, lamp, and some wires and certain plug online. I was trying to use distance sensor to detect the distance, so that when somebody was near in certain distance, the lamp will turn on automatically.

Application
Later on, I was using this distance dimmer controller into my exhibition design project. Consequently, when visitors come near the exhibition, the lamp will automatically turn on. Below are the links to the testing of the dimmer in experiment and exhibition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNOZi9MiDC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Ph7mzfpyg
