Project Progress

Our approach was pretty much straightforward.


Day 0: We studied a similar setup from a previous project to come up with our circuitry.

Day 1: We began wiring the circuit. Originally, there were supposed to be three lasers (two crisscrossing, one straight), but we encountered several problems:

  • One potentiometer wasn't working.
  • Even though we could change the malfunctioning potentiometer, the breadboard we obtained had internal problems. It could only accommodate two potentiometers.

We decided to remove the straight laser as a result. However, we got the LDRs to work already at this point.

Day 2: CR model was built.

Day 3: The LDRs and lasers were attached to the model to simulate the CR scenario.
