Description: Snow and really wet weather ruined Lorraine’s capacitive touch buttons on her last element14 video. This time she was determined to find multiple weatherproof solutions to allow her neighbors to control RGB lights in her sitting-room window. Lorraine built a motion distance sensor using a time of flight sensor and a micro:bit. The neighbors can now control the color of the lights by moving their hands back and forward in front of the sensor. Then, using a Raspberry Pi and an infrared camera, Lorraine tracked whole body movement using pose detection. Raising the right hand changes the lights to red, raising the left hand changes to lights to blue.
