In order to interact with the Arduino board, some steps had to be taken. A protocol called &#8220;Firmatta&#8221; used by the computer to communicate with the Arduino board had to be flashed to the device memory via the Arduino IDE. Next, a Python library called &#8220;BreakfastSerial&#8221; had to be installed. BreakfastSerial is built on top of pyFirmatta, thus abstracting away some of the more complex aspects of the Arduino board making it easier to use. The code interacts with a third-party API library called &#8220;Twilio&#8221; which is used to send text messages to a registered phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid37\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter\"><span class=\"author-p-346147\">We chose to code this way for two reasons;\u00a0 We are much more proficient programmers in Python, and this is something we would find useful in everyday life. Python is a very powerful language to use, that is extremely easy to write in. Many thanks to the developer &#8220;Swift&#8221; for coding a Python library for Arduino! Other alternatives that were considered were: &#8220;Sendgrid&#8221;, &#8220;Lithouse&#8221;, &#8220;Temboo&#8221;, &#8220;IFTTT&#8221;, and using the Arduino IDE with Processing. The method we used was tricky to set up, but very easy to use and implement.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid38\" class=\"ace-line longKeep gutter-noauthor\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid39\" class=\"ace-line longKeep gutter-noauthor\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid40\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter toc-entry\"><span class=\"author-p-346147 b\"><b>Physical Design:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid42\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter\"><span class=\"author-p-346147\">The basic schematic is shown below, with a few minor changes. Instead of a button, we use two moisture sensors, when they sense moisture the circuit is completed. This schematic also excludes the LED that is connected to the board. The moment the circuit is completed, a condition is satisfied in the code that begins sending a predefined message to a registered number.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid43\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter\"><span class=\"author-p-346147 attrimg img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/dchtm6r471mui.cloudfront.net\/hackpad.com_nivaa7yx7x3_p.346147_1427393758724_button_schem.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid44\" class=\"ace-line longKeep gutter-noauthor\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid45\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter\"><span class=\"author-p-346147\">In theory, it would be nice to have a fully wireless device, however the required part was upwards of 100$ which was out of our budget. For now, our board must be connected via serial with a computer to send messages to the phone. The board, and moisture sensors are located within our hat and glasses contraption. Two moisture sensors are located just beneath the eye, if either sensor detects moisture, the circuit is completed and the message is sent.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid46\" class=\"ace-line gutter-author-p-346147 emptyGutter\"><span class=\"author-p-346147\">We are trying to target all audiences, so we attempted to make our design as androgynous as possible.
