Hi! I'm VicenzoBit, a 15-year-old maker who enjoys creating unique projects that combine technology and creativity. One thing that happens to me every morning is waking up on the wrong side of the bed. You know, those mornings when nothing feels enough: not the persistent alarms, not the hot coffee, not even the "five more minutes" trick. Simply getting up and starting the day in a good mood seems like an impossible mission.
On one of those gray days, an idea struck me: what if the first thing I heard in the morning wasn't an alarm or a to-do list reminder but something nice? Maybe a compliment, a motivational quote, or even a little joke to make me smile. That's how the idea for The Compliment Enchanter was born.
What Is The Compliment Enchanter?
The Compliment Enchanter is a device designed to lift your spirits with random compliments. Imagine waking up to phrases like:
"Today you are as bright as the sun after the rain!"
"Did you know the world is better just because you're here?"
"That idea you had yesterday was simply brilliant!"
This small device uses basic electronics and programming to generate compliments that can either be played aloud or displayed on a screen. My goal with this project is not just to solve a personal problem (lack of morning energy) but also to inspire others to find creative and fun solutions to everyday challenges, no matter how simple they might be.
Why Did I Create This Project?
I'm someone who believes that small things have the power to change how you feel. Sometimes, what you need isn't stronger coffee or a stricter routine but something that reminds you of your worth, that you can handle whatever comes your way, and that, well, the world is't so bad after all. This robot is my attempt to capture that little positive spark and make it available whenever you need it.
How Does It Work?
The Compliment Enchanter is simple to use: with its motion sensor, the device detects your presence and, after “waking up†selects a random pre-recorded compliment from a list and plays it through a Bluetooth speaker. You can customize it with whatever motivates you most: inspirational quotes, a touch of humor, or even something utterly ridiculous. The possibilities are endless.
Why Should You Build One?
If you've ever felt like me in the mornings or know someone who needs a little pick-me-up, this project is for you. Plus, it's a fantastic way to learn basic electronics and programming while creating something that truly makes people smile. As if it were not enough, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of building The Compliment Enchanter. I'll show you the materials you need, how to program it, and even how to customize it with your own unique phrases.
