TOUCHY TOUCHY.

Crafting mixed with coding is just not a good mix for me. although i did do better this project with the sewing and wiring coding the dang thing was nearly impossible. Lucky for me we have great T.A. who was able to figure out why my sensor's weren't reading my grip. turns out we were missing one simple little line... One line and the whole dang thing didnt work. But needless to say my little guy is up and running. this project was fun and actually boosted my confidence because my Minion actually kind of looks like a Minion. i am nervous going into our next project though, coding just goes right over my head.

But i know with a lot of help from our friendly teachers i will soon arrive on the same plane as my peers.

please be kind when looking at my final project, he's self-concious.

Capacitive Touch

My sewing skills have improved which has really boosted my confidence when facing this project. A lot of problems did come forth through out this project, the biggest being when I went to try and control my patches they wouldn't register at all. Even with the help with Deborah and other students my lily tiny just didnt want to register the input. On a brighter note however all of my lights worked the first time and are continuing to work. I just hope that eventually my touch pads work otherwise I will be heart broken and my Minion will suffer from bullying his entire life.

I got my idea for the Minion when we were looking at the packet that Deborah handed out with the little monster in it. I wanted to do that but then got the idea to mix it up a little bit and make something that would be easy but different and then arose this beautiful thing.

 Here is Minion Dominion a little before he was completely finished. isnt he adorable?

 Here is my little guy about 30% complete. he's not cute yet but he will be. 

What I learned from this project is that i need to always make sure that I have enough supplies, I ran out of wire and it really delayed my progress. Also I will definitely make sure to get a lily tiny that does work.
