Week 7

Before the week 7 class, a group member 3D printed the case for the game. In class, the support material was removed from the print and the group attempted to place the Arduino inside. Although the model left space to hold the Arduino, there is not enough space to put it into the case. Therefore, class time was spent remodeling the case so it can be 3D printed again. The figures below show the 3D printed case and the new model.

A view of the left side of the 3D printed case, where openings for the USB port and battery connector are visible.

Figure 3.

A view of the case in a right-side up position. The left side is larger to encase the battery and have space for a USB cord and battery connector.

Figure 4.

The updated model for the case, to be 3D printed. It will likely need to be printed in two pieces to fit in the 3D printer.

Also during class this week the program was updated so the game can recognize if a player has won. Once a player has won, the game board clears and then blinks the number 1 or 2 (depending on which player has won). While the code could be considered complete, the group will likely make some changes for efficiency in the remaining few weeks.
