Reflection

Challenges: 

First of all, I had a big challenge with the coding for the integration of the sensor value with the LED output. I tried a couple of different ways of coding.

Secondly, the IR proximity sensor was reading values consistently. As an object got closer to the sensor, the sensor would have a consistent, gradual change in the analog read values, but the values would reverse halfway. The sensor value would increase and at some point start decreasing again although the object would get closer. 

Next Steps:

1. Fix the code: sensor value input. Changing the sensor may be required.

2. Laser cut acrylic mirror for a more aesthetic prototype

3. Laser cut plywood to cover up the circuits and the sensor

4. Can explore different proximity sensor to scale the use case
