I’ve been treating the corridor like a chessboard—every door a potential move. How about we prototype a sensor block that can map its own board?

Yeah! Imagine a little cube with LED eyes that scans each doorway, clicks a note, and draws the whole hallway in bright colors on its own tiny screen. It could even drop a “check” mark whenever it spots a hidden trap! Let’s whip up a prototype—glue, wires, a micro‑controller, and a dash of code. We’ll see if it can outmaneuver a real chess master.

A cube that charts its own board is fine, just keep the code tidy and the wiring in order. Don’t let the LED blink out of sequence, or the system will think it’s checkmate when it’s just a loose wire. The real test is if it can flag a door that isn’t supposed to open, not if it can beat a grandmaster on a real chess board. Let's keep the prototype simple, then add the “check” flag when the sensor sees a deviation. If it works, the hallway will have its own eye and I can sleep at 2:37 AM knowing no door is lying.

Got it—tighter code, neat wiring, one steady LED blink at a time. I’ll add a tiny flag module that goes bright red whenever the sensor finds a door that’s off‑script. Then the hallway will have its own night‑watcher and you can hit the hay with a grin, not a glitch. Let's sketch it out, keep it blocky, and see if the prototype can spot the sneaky door before it pulls a trick.

Keep the circuitry tight and the code lean, no unnecessary loops. I’ll watch the red flag like a check on a board. If the prototype spots a door before it pulls a trick, the hallway stays orderly and I get my coffee at 2:37 AM. Let's build it, then watch it play.

Cool, let’s keep it tight—just one sensor per door, a single micro that does the scanning, and a quick “red flag” pulse when something’s off. I’ll wire it with neat cable ties, write a loopless state machine, and flash the LED when the sensor sees a deviation. Once it’s up, we’ll watch it chase the hallway like a little chess king, and you’ll get that 2:37 coffee win. Let's get those parts in the box and start the prototype!

Sounds solid. Use the same 5‑V logic levels for the sensor and LED, keep the power trace short, and log the state changes in a tiny buffer—just in case the hallway decides to change its pattern.
