Arduino Pong Game
For my BlueStamp project I chose the Arduino pong game. I chose this project because I like playing games and have been interested in making games so after I looked through the projects. I decided to make pong.

FINAL MILESTONE
For my final milestone I made a box out of work for my game. In the process of putting my game in its box, I ran into some complications. The lights started to make the Arduino heat up, so I had to change the lights to an external power source. Once I fixed my LEDs, then I had to finish setting up the game in its box. I had to desolder some things and I had to resolder other things in the box. After I made every thing fit and rewired everything, I was finished and got to play the for the first time.
SECOND MILESTONE
My second milestone was getting my Pong game to work. The light board was not in the right orientation so instead of desoldering the lights, I got some new code that almost worked with my current set up- I just needed another light board. Luckily, I had another, so I connected it to the first. After I did that, I booted up the game and it ran perfectly. What I am going to do next is put my game in a case and make it look much better than it does. Another thing I am going to do is connect the two screens because sometimes they slide apart and it makes it hard to play.

PRESSURE SENSOR SERVO
My Starter Project was getting a servo to spin with a pressure sensor and Arduino. I had to connect the sensor to the Arduino and I had to connect the servo to the Arduino. I encountered some troubles with the wiring. I would put it in the wrong order, but after I figured that out I had no more troubles finishing my project. Since I did not have a huge challenge, I was able to finish it in a day.
