PDI Studio 5

There are four different components to this design.

The Code:

#define value0 10 // Definition of analog values for various resistors
#define value1 135
#define value2 330
#define value3 780
#define value4 980
#define numrounds 9 // Number of rounds

int sensorValue[5]; // Initializes sensor values and sets the starting values to 0

char answer; // Holds Answer value
char input[5]; // Holds user input values
char i = 0; // Counting variable
char win = 0; // Win indicator
char points = 0; // Number of points
char light = 0; // Indicates how many users get answer right
char rounds = 0; // Rounds counter

void setup() {
pinMode(10, INPUT); // Declaration of all Input buttons
pinMode(11, INPUT);
pinMode(12, INPUT);

pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Status LED

pinMode(0, OUTPUT); // Output LEDs for various uses
pinMode(1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);

The Hardware: The hardware can be seen below.

The hardware is comprised of the LED’s, Analog Inputs, Pushbuttons, and the Arduino. The purpose of the hardware is to gather inputs and relay outputs.

The Inputs: The inputs are clothespins. A resistor of different level is set into each letter (A, B, C, etc.), this way the hardware and code can detect if the answer is correct. Below are a few images of the clothes pins.
