I got an electronic kit just in time for my birthday so in this project let’s
my birthday so in this project let’s
my birthday so in this project let’s open it up and explore some of the
open it up and explore some of the
open it up and explore some of the things we can do with little bits to

module you can see that in less than 5 seconds we’ve made a flashlight that
seconds we’ve made a flashlight that
seconds we’ve made a flashlight that works each time we press the button if
works each time we press the button if
works each time we press the button if we switch out the button with the sound
we switch out the button with the sound
we switch out the button with the sound trigger module we can turn on the light
trigger module we can turn on the light
trigger module we can turn on the light with a snap or a clap alright let’s take
with a snap or a clap alright let’s take
with a snap or a clap alright let’s take this to the next level with the cloud
this to the next level with the cloud
this to the next level with the cloud bit module this little piece snaps just
bit module this little piece snaps just
bit module this little piece snaps just about anything to the internet and
about anything to the internet and
about anything to the internet and you’ll see how it works in just a second
you’ll see how it works in just a second
you’ll see how it works in just a second now if we bring in a remote trigger and
now if we bring in a remote trigger and
now if we bring in a remote trigger and this owl puppet I found laying in the

first off let’s cut a small hole in the
first off let’s cut a small hole in the feathers just big enough to expose the
feathers just big enough to expose the
feathers just big enough to expose the remote sensor this little device is
remote sensor this little device is
remote sensor this little device is going to let us know when someone’s
going to let us know when someone’s
going to let us know when someone’s using a remote control so let’s snap
using a remote control so let’s snap
using a remote control so let’s snap some wires to either side of the sensor
some wires to either side of the sensor
some wires to either side of the sensor then snap it to the cloud bit module
then snap it to the cloud bit module
then snap it to the cloud bit module making this circuit Wi-Fi compatible I

detector circuit is complete and now all
detector circuit is complete and now all we have to do is hide it you can see the
we have to do is hide it you can see the
we have to do is hide it you can see the sensor hides pretty well on the forehead
sensor hides pretty well on the forehead
sensor hides pretty well on the forehead and to get it all working all we need to
and to get it all working all we need to
and to get it all working all we need to do is throw the power switch all right
do is throw the power switch all right

let’s go ahead and tuck everything
let’s go ahead and tuck everything inside the puppet so it’s snug and
inside the puppet so it’s snug and
inside the puppet so it’s snug and secure and completely concealed now I

habit of sneaking up to watch TV after we’ve gone to bed the difference now is
we’ve gone to bed the difference now is
we’ve gone to bed the difference now is that when they press any button on the

that when they press any button on the remote the sensor in the puppet triggers
remote the sensor in the puppet triggers
remote the sensor in the puppet triggers a circuit and sends a text message to my
a circuit and sends a text message to my
a circuit and sends a text message to my phone letting us know that some little
