Control the height of your desk with the wave of a hand. GitHub user topherCantrell smartened up their moveable desk with the aid of a pico, HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sonar Distance Sensor, RFID / NFC Smart Ring, PN532 NFC/RFID controller breakout board, a Pico, and CircuitPython
I have this wonderful, motorized desk at work. The entire six-foot surface rises and falls between sitting and standing positions with the push of a button—well, with the holding down of a button, which is embarrassingly outmoded in our modern world of automation. I used to cover my face so my friends at other companies wouldn’t see me changing my desk height manually. But no more! With a fun little project, I rid myself of this shame and humiliation.
If you build a project, the features will come. I’ll show you how I added an RFID reader that lets me move the desk with the wave of a hand—a hand with a finger that is wearing an RFID ring.
