Inspiration

My sister has a hard time getting out of bed :)

What it does

Demo video: ----

Flashing lights
Muscle Contraction
Ejects you out of bed

How I built it

We used a NodeMCU
Made a Blynk app for a wireless connection
It has a timer so it wakes you up at a specific time
Flashing lights: We programmed the esp8266 to have a disco light flashing effect, bright leds to wake you up (the cube was built for a different project, not made during hacklarious)
Muscle contraction: coding a a relay and TENS unit (TENS unit relay wire was wired at a different hackathon)
Bed ejector: We bought a bed that could change its elevation for my grandma to help her get out of bed easier, we attached a servo (in a very janky manner if I might add) to the remote
everything was controlled in a wireless system to start at an alarm timer

Challenges I ran into

Wanna hear something so hacklarious no? i thought this hackathon was in two weeks for some reason (after APs), so we started this project at 11:00 pm on Saturday

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

A miracle that we finished this and edited a video?
working with janky materials --> janky product

What I learned

My sister and her friend (all quarantined in the same house) participated in their first hackathon with me
and my cousin sent over some code
We worked together despite quarantine :)))))
