This project studies the feasibility of using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor to provide an indication of a vehicle in the drivers blind spot. Please post questions below and I will be happy to answer.

3D Case for Device

3D print case with variable sensor angles.
- Ignore the rough surface on the top. I still have to remove that support material.
- The 2 holes may be slightly to far apart, which makes it extremely tight when sliding in the ultrasonic sensor.
- Update: need to make holes closer together.
