Project Description Heading link

Our project will be an Arduino system that will shut down a laptop if it gets too hot. One Arduino will be for monitoring the temperature. There will be a Bluetooth connection to the laptop and phone that will allow us to monitor the temperature remotely. The second Arduino will be used for a motor that will press the power button to shut down the computer. This information will be communicated to the phone through Bluetooth with LEDs to monitor the temperature of the unit in question, and a button to set the average temperature of the computer for calibration.
