Week 09. Input Devices
lets look at some sensors and see how we can use them to interact with our project.
Assignment
group assignment
probe an input device's analog levels and digital signals
individual assignment:
measure something: add a sensor to a microcontroller board
that you have designed and read it
Adding a sensor to a microcontroller board and measuring it.

Most of thes week was dedicated to finishing on my Fab board (i did briefly call it my F'in board but it has since re-clamed its proper name.)
I decided to use a motion tracking sensor this week as i figured I would be needingin in my final project.
I also used a module that was readly avaliable in the Creative Spark Industry Fab Lab, that was the DF Robot MPU-6050 6 DOF Sensor (Breakout)
Issues I’ve encountered
AGHHHHH
what went wrong.

Learning Outcomes
Code structure and how the types of flow required - I will need to explore more of this but this week has given me a good grounding.
I have a good grounding in the Arduino IDE and have a good understanding of the code structure and how the types of flow required.
