Smart Fan

Smart Fan

Fan that turns on and off when you sit in the chair

The fan has a distance sensor attached. Reads the distance out to an if loop, which will actuate a servo to hit a button. this is because the button belongs to a different electric circuit. Starts another while loop that tells the fan to cut power when the distance is >100.
