Hello everyone,
I'm Jamie and at the moment I'm at the final stages of my final year design project. I'm designing a piece of exercise equipment that motivates children to exercise but have run into a bit of a problem with regards to the circuitry.
The image above shows the finished product. The user stands in the area marked with the red X and has to put their hand or leg through different holes as they light up (illustrated brilliantly with the blue lines). A sensor located on the outer ring of the hole detects the users' hand or foot and deactivates the light and randomly switches on another set of lights until they are deactivated by their respective sensor, and so on.
Any advice on the circuit design, problems, type of sensors needed, programming etc. will be greatly appreciated. Any help will be acknowledged in the final report and folio :)
Thanks,
Jamie
