Do you find it extremely frustrating that your best friend since middle school still doesn't have a microphone when you play video games in 2021? Are you always losing battles because they didn't have your back? Don't you wish you could tell if they were AFK or BEING LAME and not paying attention to the game? These questions and years of pent-up frustration led our team to develop this product.
Together, we created this inexpensive, simple, and modern solution for you to tell why your friend is always falling short of their duties in the videogames you both love. Simply leave the Particle Argon board with the ultrasonic and temperature sensors plugged into the extra USB of their console and Press the button on your Particle Argon attached to the LCD screen!
The three Particle Argons Communicate over the Particle Cloud to tell if your friend is sitting in front of their TV or not. If they are gone, the display will say: "Your Friend is AFK". If you are losing a game and can't tell that your friend is being lame, running a test on the AFK Indicatorinator 3000 will say: "Your Friend is Being Lame".
Two of our project requirements as a group of three were the use of three Particle Argons and three sensors. Our sensors and essential components were an HC-SR04 ultrasonic scanner, a TMP36 temperature sensor, a 10kΩ potentiometer, an LCD1602 display, a push-button, and a resistor. The first Argon with the button(Sensor 1) to start the programs and show the outcome on the LCD screen. The second Argon with the Temperature and Ultrasonic Sensors (Sensors 2&3) collects data from your friends room and accurately detects if they are in front of their screen. This Argon sends data to the third Argon, which is tasked with converting all the raw data to determine the response to display.
Additionally, with a few small tweaks to the code, the AFK Indicatorinator 3000 can also be used as a range finder. If you're a hobbyist who likes hunting or bird watching but don't care to bother with the inaccuracies of eyeballing your position on a map, then look no further than The AFK Indicatorinator 3000. The AFK Indicatorinator 3000 can gather the data and send it to be automatically logged and graphed. The easiest way to do this would be to log your target's distance from you as well as your distance from a known reference point.
