phys comp week 3:trying to keep it cool


So, I've had a rough week in physical computing. The lab was fairly simple(picture shown.) Unfortunately, I blew my accelerometer, that sucked. Then someone stole my flexi-sensor. Great! Then I find out that the computer store is out of sensors except for the hydrosonar. So I bought that but i'm holding out to use it just yet. I ordered two force sensors that just arrived today so that'll be exciting to use this week hopefully. So basically I've been trying out loads of stuff, all of which failed in one form or another. I'm feeling a bit discouraged but I just went back to my bongo project that irritated me for about two days because I couldn't get it to work again. Fortunately I have, and i've changed a few things up. I'm going to try and make it look all nice and more like a complete project. Unfortunately, I won't have that ready for this weeks class which is today but hopefully by next week. I dont know. I'm not gonna try to beat myself up too much because I'm sure I'll be facing a lot more downers in the next two years. Narf!
