Flapping Bird
A boring day, you walk around not knowing what to do and there’s a cute little bird waiting to flap its wings on your arrival. No matter big or small, any fascinating thing can energize you and get you on track.
Make a feathered creature and play with it!
Things Required
1. Dream Kit
2. Chart paper
3. Cardboard
4.A pair of scissors
5. Thread or string
6. Paper fastener
7. Split pins
8. Ice-cream stick
9. Hot glue / glue
How It Works
We all know that the Distance sensor (ultrasonic) gives the distance of the object in front of it. In this project we are using a distance sensor to detect humans at a certain distance and then rotate the servo which is connected to the bird’s wings to open it when a person is present in front of the bird and fold the wings when no one is in front of it.
