Week 3



This week we had established what exactly would be need to make this project work without looking too much at the components that came pre-packaged with the Arduino kits and put it into a list:

Materials:

 1 x Round mirror
 1 x Mirror Frame
 1 x Reflective Window Tint Film 1 meter
 1 x Glass Sheet
 1 x Large Potentiometer
 2 x Large Button
 1 x Housing
 1 x Addressable RGB LED Strip 2 meter

The mirror, glass, lights and reflective film come together to make the display of our game, we plan to buy the mirror and adapt everything to its size so we might have to cut the glass to suit our needs, the frame might also prove to be problematic to find so we are contemplating on making it out of plastic or hard cardboard, it will need to be somewhat sturdy so we can attach the lights to it.
We will continue to look for these components which is proving to be not as easy as we though, most of them ship from the east for a long period of time that is beyond our final deliverable deadline so we need to checking online retailers and auctions as well as physical DIY shops to make sure we can make this on time.
