Bill of Materials
Description
Description:
Build your own compact and fully automated mains-powered parking assistant! Thanks to its ultrasonic sensor and smart display management (automatic shutdown after 5 seconds once parked), this minimalist case mounts to your garage wall to guide you precisely. The design is optimized for fast printing, with custom slots to secure your components and cables.
The Arduino program is available below in the documentation. If you want to modify the detection distance at which the lights turn on, copy and paste the program into an artificial intelligence and ask it to make the necessary changes.
Note: This setup consumes only about €1.10 per year (or US$1.28/year) in electricity.
