This week, the team focused on completing a prototype for Prototype Inspection Day. This involved a lot of work on the track which can be seen in the image below. Lots of soldering was completed to get a working prototype.

We also worked on the creation of a light display to play at the end of our prototype. This was integrated with a Raspberry Pi Pico to trigger the display on the track.

The Pico was set up with the C/C++ Software Development Kit and wired into a circuit on a breadboard with a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was mounted on the track and was successful in triggering the LED display that was created.

The team is working on finalizing all of our prototyping ideas in preparation for Prototype Inspection Day on 11/15. We are excited to keep working and getting feedback!
