Concept
The objective of the game is to tap the correct sequence of piano tiles which creates a short song. The sequence is pictured on the conveyor belt that is controlled by the motor. If the user taps the correct tile, the belt will continue moving, but if they click the wrong tile, or do not tap it in time, the belt will stop and the game ends.
Planning
Fabrication
Base
Created a wooden base with PVC pipe rollers and a laser cut frame. Used rubber bands to grip the conveyor belt. The extra PVC section held my motor and motor hub.
Touchpad
Used tin foil and resistors to create capacitive touch input keys. Soldered the wires together to connect a common ground and attach to my breadboard.
