Testing both hardware and software part

Doing testing on  
Circuit:   I tested the operation of the circuit and started within a shorter time period. 

Body detection: I tried to adjust the sensitive of the detection. The infrared-ray distance sensor can detect for maximum 2M far. I had tested to put the sensor at different positions.

Mist: I found that the mist was not spreading out from the water container. For I tried and tried, I found that mist is needed a certain weight to spread out and land down. So, I tried to put the mist machines into a water container with shorter borders. So that, the mist was easier to spread out and land down. 


Projection: I have borrowed a 3M portable projector from CM Production Centre. After doing the testing on the display of the projection, I think a 3M projector contains a higher quality of the display. Hence, I chose to borrow the 3M projector for my installation.
  
Moreover, for the projection, as the projection was displayed on the floor, I should put the projector at the top .I had tried many positions to set the projector. 


Microphone: I needed to test the level of sound received by the microphone. The function activityLevel () control the sound level. I have tried different value to test the sensitive of the detection of the microphone. Finally, I used 30 degree activity level as the sound detection level. It is suitable for a normal environment.
