Steady Hand Game:
For our steady hand game we designed a background on paper. When it was approved by Mr. Schintler, I went on to painting the boards to the colour I needed them to be, then added the details. Then I drilled out the holes for the LED’s and wires to go through.
After that, I put the LED’s, buzzer and battery snap in place with the glue gun. I soldered the LED’s together, making sure that they were facing the right way. Then I connected it up to the battery snap and buzzer, making sure that I was putting on heat shrink.
Next I shaped a bit of fence wire into the shape I wanted and put it on the front, connecting it to one of the wires that came through the holes. I made a handle and soldered it to the other wire. That was it, I had a working Steady Hand Game.
I got 10/10, I am really impressed with my mark, and I feel I put a lot of work into it.
Lie Detector
First I collected the parts that I needed, and laid out a more compact version of the circuit on my board. I put all the parts in in the appropriate places and soldered the wires together in the right places.
Of course, it isn’t actually a working lie detector, but when you put your finger on the probes, it lights up, every time. I feel I did well in the circuitry, but I think that I could have put more effort into the decoration.
I got a 9.5/10, so I am happy with my work.
