Congratulations, you have finished the final project of this course that was quite a challenge, and
if you've managed to do it all by yourself, well, double congratulations if you needed help along
the way.
No problem at all.
The important thing is that you have finished the project.
Now you can be much more confident to create all kinds of new projects you want with the hardware components
we have used all even new ones.
What are you recommend with this project?
Is first to do the project again entirely by yourself?
If you need some help, give it a day or two, then just dive into project and you will see if you can
successfully do what was blocking you the previous time.
And once you master the project, well, you can go further with it.
The project is never really finished.
You can always improve it, add new functionalities or change the purpose of the project, for example.
And then if you learn new things, new components, new knowledge, after this course, you can apply
it also directly to the project.
Here are a few ideas of what you can do to go further.
Now you can add more settings.
For example, do a reading all the blinking rates for the 80s.
So with the infrared remote control, you get the so used to go between the settings, you save the
settings to EPROM and then you add more screen modes on the LCD to display everything the program is
going to be.
So you can learn how to split and add in a program into different phases to better organize the code
by functionality or by hardware component.
You can learn how to use other hardware components.
For example, a sensor which is a passive infrared sensor to detect human movement contrary to the ultrasonic
sensor which measures the distance but paper.
You can also detect if there is a human moving in front of the robot, you can add a buzzer to make
a sound when the application is getting blocked because there is an obstacle.
This will add more information and more interactiveness to the project.
You can also make the unlocking functionality more complex.
For example, with a four digit PIN code that you have to enter on the remote controller.
Then you can build a mobile robot and use parts of this application to make the robot move safely in
its environment.
You can also transform the application into a security app to monitor when someone is crossing a door,
for example, and etc..
Use your imagination to build anything you want.
