  This was our last session so we tried to finish everything we had left.#

  We tried to find a solution for our steering wheel problem and we decided to fix it as tight as possible on the joystick for it to be more smooth. We didn't have the time to do the steering mechanism we wanted and had a lot to do so we went with this prototype.

  Maewenn did the code and circuit on arduino to add the mario music. This is the code: 

  int buzzerPin = 8;

  This session we did a lot of things. Everyone had their tasks. We mostly perfected the final prototypes and took care of formating. 

  Celine and Maewenn : They started by designing then drawing mario object on the base of the poullie system and then painting them. They also cut out and painted a big star. Which they then fixated on the sides of the poullie. And then they worked on the dashboard. They found a wooden plank for the base and two stand on which we will be able to put the dashboard. They took the measurements. They also worked on the kart system because we realised that it was good for us to fit in it but when we tried with other people from the class who were taller, it was a tight fit. With Lucine they started talking about other solutions so that the kart can be modifiable depending on who wants to play the game. 

  Leila: Leila started by making a new prototype of the steering wheel because we saw that it was not very clean and when we tested the game it did not do what we wanted it to do very smoothly. Once this was done she worked on soldering 8 other LEDs with resitances. Finally we tested the new steering wheel and saw that our problem was not completely fixed so she and Lucine worked on that.

  Lucine: Lucine started by painting the foam ball to make it look like a mario mushroom (this button is used for the button made for sliding. Then she drew and painted the flowers which decorate the poullie system. After this she worked on soldering 8 other LEDs with resitances which will be used on the dashboard. After this she helped prototyping the new steering wheel and the kart.

  For next time we need to nail the plank to the stands for the dashboard, fixate the LEDs to the dashboard, paint the kart, finish the new steering wheel, relook at the code to add sounds and retest the game.

  This session we finished the final poullie system and the lever. We started soldering the LEDs to the resistances so that we can add lights to the dashboard. We also started the code and circuit to add music thanks to arduino. We also started making the final kart and pedal. 

  Next time we need to continue soldering, paint our finished parts, finish the arduino music code and decorate the whole kart and dashboard.

  We saw that the servo motor would be too small to sustain the weight of our feet and so we tried mechanical resistances for the pedal instead. We tried 2 prototypes one with foam and one with springs we made out of metal wires. The springs had a more realistic feeling and so we have chosen this one. 

  We also made a 3rd prototype of our poullie system with harder cardboard to make sure it presses the button on top of the bow when we pull it. We also found our wheel for the final poullie we just need to find a way to make it higher, tubes from tin foil seem to work well.

  We also continued on our code for LEDs but we do not know how we will display them

  We tested our game again and started on the arduino part. We want to add a resistace on the pedal control to make it feel more realistic for this we are trying to use a servo motor. We also want to add lights on the dashboard. We started the code for the motor and made a new prototype for the pedal. We had a hard time with the arduino code and we need to re do it in the next session. 

  We realised our game was more suited for a car game and we found another game which resembles mario kart

  We made second prototypes for the stearing wheel and our poullie system. We installed all the wireing and using JoyToKey we give each button and joystick their purpose. We tried the game with all the controls.

  Found a plane game because this was our initial idea and made a first prototype of some controls we wanted thanks to tutorials on youtube.
