TEACHABLE MACHINE + HARRY POTTER

Node.js, p5.js, Teachable Machine (Machine Learning), Arduino

One of my favorite book series is Harry Potter and what child (or adult) wouldn't want to cast spells to light up a dark room or levitate an object. I wanted to bring this to reality using the wands that are sold in Olivander's Wand Shop in the Daigon Alley at the Universal Orlando theme park.  Though I would have like to posses the magic of a wizard, alas,  I am but a muggle. But us muggles have Machine Learning and other cool technologies.  So, I used Google's  Teachable Machine to create an image and sound model that would recognize when I am holding my wand and I say "lumos" or "wingardium leviosa".  "Lumos" triggers a light to turn on via Serial Communication to an arduino microcontroller and "wingardium leviosa" triggers a servo to lift a small item.
