Hi,I'm a total newbie on Arduino and also electronic stuff, but I am however a windows application programmer.
Recently I had discovered Arduino and was doing some reading and figured I should give it a try on my own personal project which involves Sensor and Indicator.
I'm trying to build a button panel, which has no buttons at all but only sensors and digital display.
You may refer to my ugly sketch below.
- I'm not sure what kind of sensor is needed to get the range i need, which is MIN: 25mm, MAX: 1000mm.
- I'm worried about the sensor may be disrupted by the side of a wall if I attached it to the corner of a room.
- I read that using IR would post a problem with natural sun light when they shine on it. True?
- The indicator is to allow me to show status of the sensor if it's active or inactive and also other labels via different given input.
- The given input power I have is 24v DC.
Finally, Can anyone point me the right direction to a starter kit that can allow me to complete this project OR perhaps even help me to build one and I pay for it so that I can have fun with it?
Your replies will be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
