What's Your Chore Score?

I built this project to help me keep track of my chores and make the process of doing them a little bit more fun. To play the game, every time you do a chore on the scorekeeper you get to add points to your total. Eventually, after you do enough chores, a reward will print that you can either use or barter with housemates for a better reward. The rewards are tailored to the kinds of things me and my partner like to do, especially activities that we want to do but never find time for.

In this video, I show how a user might Interact with the machine. Each time a player finishes a chore, they get to add points to the board. Once a player hits 750 points, the receipt printer will print a reward with a time frame for redeeming It. Some rewards are only valid for one week, while others are valid any time. High scores can be kept Indefinitiely, and the device will print a reward every 750 points.

Authors note: I mostly only took videos of my process, so much of these process "photos" are actually videos of things working or not working. Due to the limitations of alt text when it relates to videos, I've included "alt text" In the caption of what's inside of each video, as well as the normal caption

One of my biggest struggles during this process was getting the receipt printer to work consistently. Even when printing the test page, the printer would often only print half lines. I spent a lot of time AB testing different settings and browsing arduino forums for a fix. We're still not entirely sure what was causing the problem, but after meeting with Zach we ended up switching to a higher voltage power supply which seems to have fixed the problem. While the receipt printer should be able to operate off of a 5v supply, It was not printing correctly until we switched to a 9v supply.

Overall, I think this project was really successful for me, though I did hit a few road bumps along the way. While I chose a very simple system, I think that served me well as I wasn't drowning in technical problems. I was actually pretty surprised by the things that ended up causing me the most trouble. While going into this project I expected that the coding and electrical wiring would be the most difficult, the source of most of my frustration ended up being the laser cutter and the receipt printer. Getting the box laser cut ended up taking almost an entire day, which I really didn't expect, and that set me back In other classes/schoolwork since I hadn't budgeted for It. Finally, I ran into a few Issues when it was time to solder the pushbutton wires and put the whole thing  together. Since the buttons need to be mounted from the front before being soldered to the protoboard, it was pretty frustrating to do the wiring with 9 total buttons, and made it difficult to construct the box, which resulted in me needing to cut the LED indicators that were planned because there wasn't enough working room inside the box to add them. If I were to give advice for myself or someone else doing this project, I would suggest to start the laser cut a lot earlier, and to attaching the arcade buttons with much longer wires so that there's more working space, and use more screw terminals to make It easier to change. I used shorter wires to save space, but that caused me a lot of trouble In the long run. 

My critique feedback mirrored a lot of my own feelings about this project, which was uplifting. I think quite often when you work on something and It doesn't quite reach "perfect" It can be hard to see that you still have something that's pretty dang good. One person commented that "In a future version, and Lenora mentioned this, it would be nice to have the light indicators working." which I wholeheartedly agree with. Unfortunately the solution to this would be quite involved, so I don't plan to implement It but I do wish the lights were working. I also got some positive feedback about the personalization of the box by using a chalkboard that could be changed, with one commenter saying "I liked the use of chalkboard paint and chalk pen for the scoreboard list of chores. It’s always nice to see various components and materials coming together in a physical computing project. It gives the project more character and personalization." I was glad the chalkboard was successful, and I'm excited that using chalkboard means the chores can be changed out whenever I want. 

For the future of this project, I am thinking about changing the power so that the entire device can run on one cable, and If It were possible I would Implement the lights. I would also like to make some additions to my code to use EEPROM to store the score when the box Is unplugged. I also think a lot of Improvements can be made to the code to streamline the process. I know that there's a way to write this code In a lot less lines than I ended up using, but with my beginner level skill the method I used worked best for me.

Project 2: Assistive Device for Yourself

60-223 Intro to Physical Computing

Code by Lenora Gant

Description: A chore tracker/game, where user can press push button and see

point value add to total high score

First, user presses button (4ish buttons)

This button press causes a certain # of points to be printed on LCD Screen

After point threshhold is achieved (every 500 points?); print receipt printer reward

Debouncing buttons tips:

if button is pressed and previously it was not pressed, then the button is pressed

if previously it was pressed, it does not press

Pin mapping:

 Arduino pin | role  |  description

 -------------------------------------

 2             input    lFivePtButton

 3             input    lTwentyFivePtButton

 4             input    lSeventyFivePtbutton

 5             input    lHundredFiftyPtbutton

 6             input    cFivePtbutton

 7             input    cTwentyFivePtbutton

 8             input    cSeventyFivePtbutton

 9             input    cHundredFiftyPtbutton

 10            input    ledOne     Purple

 11            input    ledTwo     Purple

 12            input    ledThree   Blue

 13            input    ledFour    Blue

 A4+A5         output   LCD screen

 A1+A2         output   thermal printer

 A3            input    resetSwitch

 Steps:

 1. Push button competition- top row is for player 1, bottom row is for player 2

    each have 5, 25, 75, 150 buttons

 2. Software reads button pressed

 3. Depending on which button, add point value to each persons total high score

       a. 20 pt button would add 20 points. if score was 50,

          your total score becomes 70

 4. Once user reaches point threshold for reward,

 5. Print predetermined reward with thermal printer

 6. Device is meant to be reset once per week
