 The belt worked successfully when worn - the video below shows the serial monitor displayed the sensor value and reaching the threshold figure. Although it is not perceptible in the video, the back of the belt vibrated as intended. The belt worked successfully when worn - the video below shows the serial monitor displayed the sensor value and reaching the threshold figure.

 +//​**Problems** //
 +
 +I already mentioned the problem of unplanned power supply and step down voltage. In hindsight, I should have used a different a microcontroller that operated with 5V, like the vibration motor, so that I would not need a step down voltage regulator and all the cumbersome wires that came with it. The design would have been cleaner without this.

 +**//Final thoughts// **
 +
 +This was my first time working properly with arduino, sensors and actuators, and it was very pleasing to have designed a finished product that works.
