Virtual Bumper

The kids are constantly fighting ?
Let them wear the virtual bumper,
set the distance to your prefernce.
The bumper will worn them whenever they are too close to, well, everything...

Step 1: Parts :

-Arduino pro mini
-4 HC-SR04 ultra sonic distance meter
-Small breadboard
-Vibration motor
-Potentiometer
-Few 220ohm resistors
-PNP Transistor
-Battary ?
-A belt
-Some zip ties
-Cables

Step 2: Diagram

There are 4 distace meters connected together to the arduino at the vcc, gnd and trig pins.
trig pin connected to arduino´s pin 3.
each distance meter connected by it self from the echo pin to arduino´s 4-7 pins.
The potentiometer connects to 5v and gnd and its output pin to arduino´s analog pin 3.
The transistor connected to pin 3 at the gate and also connects the ground through a led and a resistor.
The Vibration motor connects the emitter for power and also connects to ground.

* Note that the pic is an old ver, i made changes on build, fllow the discription.

Step 3: The Code

#define trigPin 3 //Sonar Triger
#define echoPinL 4 //Left sonar echo
#define echoPinF 5 //Front sonar echo
#define echoPinR 6 //Right sonar echo
#define echoPinB 7 //Back sonar echo
#define Vibrate 10 //Vibrate + Led pin
#define disSelect A3 //Distance Selector analog pin
