Oct 21 - Oct 27

This week was primarily spent working on the Thrill-o-meter project:

- Experimenting with 7 segment display to see how it can be controlled with arduino using shift registers.

- Programming the interface using project brief as the guideline and testing the system on myself to check the    results.

- Finalizing the required components and ordering them.

- Testing the components.


- First test on babies done on Friday in university to assess the reliability of the system and making changes      to it accordingly.
