Week 0 - Journal

Ideation

We started this week with a lot of excitement. We got introduced to the Maker Diploma in terms of rules, procedures, how we'll communicate, what we'll learn, and how the week will be distributed.

We got a smart device kit (HitTheNumber) and started getting things together and connecting everything to come up with a functional smart game.

We received the kit un assembled with all the casing, electronic components, screws, screw driver and power supply.

Tool Chain

We used a pre-loaded Arduino uno, We used ply-wood as casing material and used Processing software for the controller mode game.

Started the wiring.
