For this project, I started by making a rundown of everything that I would need to accomplish to complete the project. Once it felt complete, I started laying down all of the buttons and lamps that I would need as well as the photos. I started the program with the information I had and what I had drawn up. I made many mistakes and had many errors, but by the end, I had solved them all and had the PLC and HMI working exactly how I wanted.

Smash-A-Light - PLC Program

For this project, I created a program that allowed for a digital replica of whack-a-mole. I created the HMI and the code respectively. I struggled a lot when it came to getting the lights to function correctly. At first, the lights wouldn't turn on. When I finally got them to turn on, I had trouble getting them to change. I eventually got it working and was filled with immense relief.
