Week 4 Meeting: 4-21-15

During the meeting, the coding for the flex sensors was developed. Since the flex sensors came in they were tested and found to be reliable. The analog reading showed that when the flex sensors weren't flexed the value was 0 degrees. The coding that would utilize the flex sensor for scoring or lighting LEDs still needs to be developed. Based on how the flex sensor worked the adruino could signal the scoreboard to add a certain score if the degrees goes above 0. The reading could also be used to switch on a LED. The frame for the pinball machine was created the weekend before which gave a better outlook on how the pinball design will look.  The ultrasonic sensor was tested and it showed how far a object was from the sensor. The sensor could be used to show if the ball bearing has fallen past the flippers and the game needs to be reset. Construction of the scale model was started. Balsa wood for the frame of the scale model was bought. A circuit board was taken apart for the circuit design.
