As per our Gantt chart, my tasks for the next two weeks will involve testing out the force-sensitive resistors with the Arduino, and finding a way for it to communicate the information to the raspberry pi and Pygame. Both these tasks required us to have the necessary components by the upcoming week. Therefore, a good amount of time was spent choosing the right Arduino board (without headers which we could solder wires to) and the right force-sensitive resistor.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we have decided to go with Arduino Leonardo without headers and 2 feet long force-sensitive resistors (FSR). For the FSRs, I plan to utilize the IDEATE resources to test out other smaller FSRs they already have available. After researching for a bit, the ones I plan to test are:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-111 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teama3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/177\/2022\/02\/0.5in-round-FSR-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">0.5 inch round FSR available in IDEATE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-112 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teama3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/177\/2022\/02\/1.5in-square-FSR-300x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"281\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1.5 inch square FSR I have to look around for<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-113 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teama3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/177\/2022\/02\/2ft-long-FSR-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2 ft long FSR we ordered<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for Pygame, I am definitely behind schedule for learning it by this week.
