| schestowitz | <blockquote> | May 22 11:20 |
| schestowitz | <p>In terms of scoring, a player receives a point when their puck passes below the opponent’s goal, which meant Underwood needed some way of consistently detecting when the puck crosses the line. To do this, she created a small sketch for an Arduino Uno Rev3 that checked the state of a phototransistor and incremented the score when triggered. Although this worked initially, she did acknowledge t | May 22 11:20 |
