Sample projects
Smart Festive Lantern Smart Festive Lantern Main Control Boards： • Halocode Modules of mBuild： • Heat Sensor x 1 • Speaker x 1 Design concept: • Use Halocode's speech recognition feature and the speaker to vocally interact with the lantern and use the heat sensor to turn on/off the light. Click to play the video How it works: • When the lantern is turned on, the light starts glimmering. When someone's coming close, the light gets brighter and it starts playing music.
Security Alarm Main Control Boards： • Halocode Security Alarm Modules of mBuild： • Speaker x 1 • Ranging Sensor x 4 • Servo x 1 Other supplementary materials • Halocode Strip x 4 • Display x 1 Click to play the video How it works: • When the distance between an object and the ranging sensor is less than 30cm, Halocode starts flashing red, the servo rotates and the speakers gives an alarm. • When the distance is 30cm-40cm, Halocode keeps flashing yellow, the servo rotates.
Self-driving car Self-driving car Description • The video is in manual mode, which can simulate reverse storage.
Big mouth Big mouth Description • Paper mold with wood panel construction. The steering motor and connecting lever control the dimension of mouth opening. Since the ears and hands conduct current, you can create a series of actions with sound and light.
Interactive companion robot Interactive companion robot Description • Motor-controlled rotatable chassis. A single steering motor together with a connecting lever controls both hands. The electronic screen can display various information emojis. After writing the corresponding program can produce rich interactive play.
Naughty little animal Naughty little animal Description • Naughty little animal. The steering motor control small animal tail or mouth. You can make it by yourself for different animal images.
Smart trash can Description • As long as the PIR sensor detect the object, the cover of trash box open automatically. In order to educate children to solve the ordinary problem within the latest technology.
Moiré Pattern Ring Description • The mirror image creates a dynamic effect when rotated; it will present more changes with lighting. Moiré Pattern Ring • With the speaker module, it can work as a rotating music box.

Gesture Control Trash Box Gesture Control Trash Box Description • Within a fixed range, say 2-20cm, the ranging module controls the size of the lid switch according to the detected distance of the item. The closer the distance is, the larger the opening can be. This enables the control of the trash lid, or even makes it to "dance".
Finger-guessing Robot Finger-guessing robot Description • Touch the four Touch sensor of Halocode, which can control the servo to rotate to a certain angle while the LED matrix will show four photos randomly.
Speed-change Gear Speed-change Gear Description • Rotate one gear, observe what happens on the other two gear.
