Trees (LEDs and Ultrasonic Sensors) Progress

The prototype is of a tree that might work with the mural, so far I have an ultrasonic sensor connected to 3 LEDs, and they light up based on the proximity to the sensor. I made the tree out of cardboard and bubble wrap, but it might be cool if you could image it (spray) painted green (I’m not completely sure it resembles a tree right now) or even with black light paint so it glows under black light. Working with the Microbit took a little adjusting at first but the block coding made sense once I got a hang of it.

It’d be interesting to now start connecting more ultrasonic sensors so that we can see how it’d look if the lights lit up in a sequence as you move across the mural.
