What the mobile does:
When the baby cries, a sensor inside of the mobile captures the frequency disturbance and makes the mobile lighten up. The moon will start rocking from front to back.

Materials needed:
DC motor
Gear Motor 3
Microphone
RGB lights
Cam
Light fabric
Papier maché

The movement of the moon rocking has been changed last minute. Up until now I had resorted to using magnets to avoid the use of motors (too much noise). But after revising the efficiency of the magnets and the potential issues arising from their use, I have decided to use a DC motor and simply frame it at the top of the mobile to choke the noise.

I have also done some research on the responses of babies at different ages.


At the moment I am leaning towards 6-8 months old babies. I will be gathering more accurate data from this age category and will be testing the mobile with a baby towards the end.
