Final Post.

So this is the last post of our blog officially ending the 22.201 Design Project with Professor Sullivan.
The team consisted of three members, Rachid Belhaj, Tobin Brown, and Kelly Chan. For our project we originally had anticipated on creating an LED cube programmed with the arduino. After failed attempts and trials of error with the idea, it ended up a mess and therefore we decided to scrap the idea. The details of our attempts are posted in the blog. To salvage our cube parts we decided to make a pig roast with the LEDs flickering to make it seem like a fire pit. We designed a solidworks part, which is also posted in the blog, to be 3d printed as our actual pig. After we got the 3D pig vetoed by Professor Sullivan in such short notice we just decided to have a part laser cut. It certainly doesn't look as cool as it would have been if it were in 3D but we got what we could.
In relation to the failed LED cube, it would have been neat if we were able to make one. I think if we were able to program the cube it light in the shape of  a fire it would have looked at lot neater. We definitely have a better understanding of how to maneuver things when making the cube so that things don't fall on top of eachother. We'll take this experience and remember from our mistakes if ever we have to construct anything similar to it again.
Everything else, like the servo motor and stuff went off without a hitch. We had our setup done and were just waiting for our parts for the remainder of the week up until this point.

Overall, we think our project turned out to be a complete success! Everything worked as planned and everything is all said and done. We had a great time working with eachother, communication was spot on and our efforts were all answered with achievement.
