Solar Powered LED Parking Sensor #Parking #NeoPixel
Nice parking solution from aams86 on Hackster.io. My grandpa used to have tennis balls hanging in the garage, but this solution looks a lot more elegant.
Our garage does not have a lot of depth, and has cabinets at the end the further reduce the depth. My wife’s car is just short enough to fit, but it is close. I made this sensor to simplify the process of parking, and to ensure the car was fulling in the garage before going too far and hitting the cabinets.
Once it was designed, I decided to power it with solar panels because I had a good spot to put them, and my plan is to expand this system to power more things in the garage in the future.
