Assignment
For this assignment we had to use a combination of any input used so far and a DC motor to construct a device. I started off using the pot to control the motor and was wondering how the spinning action of the motor can be leveraged to build something.
The first thing that came to mind was a spinning wheel. So I decided to go with make a spinning wheel to help decide what to do next on a busy mid semester day. To make it more fun I adopted tasks from Garfield's spining wheel I spotted online. The usual spinning wheel is spun and it stops due to friction. Here the wheel starts rotating initially and the user presses the FSR to stop it and see what task he/she has to do.
The code used wa sthe same as th example provided.
