Week 6 – Update

What did you do this week?

I worked on the code for the proximity sensor and pulse sensor.

Describe the problems you encountered.

I had planned to use the lilypad simple for both sensors however I found that the lilypad and pulse sensor would not work together given the code I was using.  I therefore will need to incorporate the arduino uno into the jacket design.

Also I was planning to get the grommet to frame the proximity sensor this evening but due to the road conditions (and the fact that I hate driving in the snow) I will need to get it tomorrow.

Describe the successes you had.

The proximity sensor and string LEDs work!  See video:

When an object comes into the field of the sensor, the string LEDs blink.

Are you on schedule?

I hope so.

What do you plan to do next week?

Finish the jacket!
