Social Distancing Arduino Monkey

This project was designed to help with social distancing. This monkey can be worn pin/necklace that lets you know when someone is getting too close for social distancing.

Parts:

• ATTiny 85
• HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor
• LED (red)
• 330 Resistor

The setup is fairly simple. Just connect the ultrasonic sensor and the led to the attiny. Detail are in the code below. I recommend testing it on an Arduino Uno then moving to the ATTiny85.

    Ultrasonic sensor Pins:
        VCC: +5VDC
        Trig : Trigger (INPUT) - Pin 0
        Echo: Echo (OUTPUT) - Pin 1
        GND: GND
    LED Schematic 
        Pin 2 -- LED -- 330 Resistor -- GND

  // Read the signal from the sensor: a HIGH pulse whose

  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
 
  // Convert the time into a distance

  dist[pos] = (duration/2) / 29.1;
