Technical requirements

The hardware components that will be needed to develop the social-distancing alarm are listed here:

One solderless breadboard.
One Blue Pill microcontroller board.
One ST-LINK/V2 electronic interface is needed for uploading the compiled code to the Blue Pill board. Bear in mind that the ST-LINK/V2 interface requires four female-to-female jumper wires.
One HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor.
One buzzer.
Male-to-male jumper wires.
Female-to-male jumper wires.
A power source.
Cardboard for the case.

As usual, you will require the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) and the GitHub repository for this chapter, which can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/DIY-Microcontroller-Projects-for-Hobbyists/tree/master/Chapter13
