Wiieee finished!

Posted by: hypergroup5 on: October 22, 2008

Today finally came, at last we got to build everything together. Today when we were going to build everything everyone were so glad and had a positive attitude, but we had some problems whit the standing that the punching bag is hanging to. The thing was that we thought that the floor was totally flat, but it wasnt. So we had an idea that we could lay some “Metro” newspapers underneath it so that it would stabilize. I’m so glad it worked and I hope it will hold these two days whit people smashing and hitting it.

But when we solved that problem another one encountered, this is when the stress probably started. Something happened whit the Arduino, the values that we got started randomly even without punching the bag. But after 1 hour or so, Anders and Samuel realized that could be something whit the electricity. It was something whit the electricity but the Arduino still made some weird randomly values; somehow it stopped as quickly as it came. So whit only 30 mins left in the exhibition hall and we still had to test it a little. We tested it and it worked and got the computer screen and the sound at the right place. But everything went out alright and im happy whit the result and I really hope that the project leaders think so too.
