Smartest hockey puck you’ll ever see

Everybody who attends the seminar gets one of these. It’s a DA145851IOTMSENSKT IoT multi sensor kit. On it are a microphone, a motion detector, and ambient light and IR proximity sensor, a magnetic sensor, a gas sensor, a buzzer, as well as a BLE chip. During class, we accessed it by first downloading a Dialog sensor app which communicates the puck via Bluetooth, and then messing some of the various sensors on the hockey puck-shaped device. To us, the most interesting part of the app is portion that interacts with the orientation sensor. It generates a real-time view of the puck’s orientation as depicted in the YouTube video we shot.
