Top Secret Arduino Project
Your eyes only! This photo will self-destruct if you forward it on.
In our house we have 5 kids. Someone is always leaving the refrigerator door open. The excuse "I didn't notice that is was still open".
We are working on a new project with the Arduino for a Refrigerator Alert System. There will be an LDR inside the fridge that when the door is opened and the light comes on it will activate the system. If the door is not shut all the way, the 8x8 LED matrix will scroll text across that says "Door is Open. Please Close Door".
We also want to try and use a .wav file that plays the same message. An alternative would be to just beep an annoying sound.
You can see the concept working at:
