So for the second project I had this fantastic idea to create a DDR like game using fingers. Essentially, the user would put on a pair of gloves, that would have sensors in the finger tips and five LEDs running down each finger to the tip. The LEDs would light up, in a “chasing light” pattern and indicate what the next finger to tap would be. Well after attempting to solder the LEDs and resisters together and attaching it to a glove, it did not look very good. So in light of what we were able to accomplish, it has been decided that we would continue with the project and finish it, but some serious changes would have to be made, regarding where the LEDs will be. We were able to attach a button sensor to a row of LEDs and when pressed will reset the lights.

* Blink
*
* The basic Arduino example. Turns on an LED on for one second,
* then off for one second, and so on… We use pin 13 because,
* depending on your Arduino board, it has either a built-in LED
* or a built-in resistor so that you need only an LED.
