Week 4 meeting: 4/23/15

During the meeting, more parts were ordered and the miniature model was complete. The parts ordered were 100 ft of copper wire and a display for the arduino so the score can be displayed. The display can hold 4 lines of text so a code for the high score will be made so the arduino records the highest score gotten before it resets. The 1st and 2nd line will read "high-score" and the actual high-score respectively, the 3rd and 4th line will be "score" and the players actual score. For a tilt sensor, an accelerometer was chosen to use since it will be the most reliable. The materials that will be used for the machine were discussed because some materials would be hard to cut through and if a mistake was made then it will cost more time to re-do it with certain materials. New sensors for the point system were being chosen, the vibration sensors would be hard to get but with the flex sensor code already stable and working it would be easier to find a way to make those work with the point system.
