It's Alive!! It's Alive!!

With the touch sensor and the acceleromter working in the game it was time for a little construction work.

As instructed Alex brought in enough lego for the Mark 1 prototype, as soon as everyone heard the clatter of lego on the table it was as if everyone was a child again and rushed to see what we were doing/ to play with the lego. First part was getting the accelerometer level in its own little module, i was able to get the phidget level to within a few decimal points which meant that the ball would be pretty stable while the controller was at rest.

The controller Mark 1 was to be honest ugly, but it housed all of the phidget tech and was suprisingly intuitive to use.
Shame i didnt get any pics of the Mk1 controller but here are some pics of the MkII controller:
