Process

Tasks:

Bonny: buyer all the requisites what we needed to complete our idea, made pictures during the process and sticked the brushes on the car with Thuan Thuan: put the accessories on the arduino Emely: Program the arduino Shus: hacked the controlled toy car and connect it to the arduino(solder)

When we had to do this assignment we had no idea what we wanted to create. We started to discuss with the other group what kind of a battle we wanted and then we started with few ideas. Meleny, our fourth member of the group was ill for a long time so we had to do this with three of us in the beginning. We came with the idea to hack an controlled toy and put an arduino in the car so we could control what we wanted. We wanted that the car was reacting on sound and make a move. So we started with hacking the car, than we connect the arduino with the car. From here Meleny was back at the uni and could help us with programing what we wanted on the arduino. The idea was that the arduino was reacting on the sound but we wanted also that we could make drawing with it, so we sticked two brushes on the front of the car, so when the arduino was getting an input the car moved and made an drawing. Drawing on the input.
