A noise level indicator that does its job in a bright manner !

[DESCRIPTION]

One of the schools I went to had a relaxation room. This place was used by students for eating during lunch breaks and for playing games during other breaks. As you may have guessed, this place would get pretty noisy. That is how this idea sparked into life. We had a group project at that time; it was on the topic of connected items. I did not really have any other idea, so I used this as a pretext for making this thing. I designed the hardware, the electronics, and the chassis; one of my peers made the software. This thing not only displays the current noise level on an arbitrary scale; it only sends multiple values using a LoRa module. The LoRa part is just a gimmick we had to implement for the connected object part; I am not even sure of what data it sends. This feels like a fraud in the context of the connected object course, but it looks kinda cool, and it is proudly displayed and used in the school. Don’t ask for the code; don’t ask for plans; I am quite sure that I do not have the files anymore, and I cannot be bothered to look.
