Social Distancing Monitor, Arduino NANO and Neopixel Ring

We realized already several projects for Social Distancing with LCD and OLEDs ===> https://gustmees.wordpress.com/?s=social+distancing and this time WE will use a Neopixel Ring who changes the color from green to orange and then to red depending on how close WE come to the 2 metres.

WE will have a look on the video who inspired me and where you will find more information:
