Final project progress update

Process

I finally connected Arduino to my game and before setting up the jumping board, I tried checking whether the force resistor works and if so, how it works.  I searched on the internet how to connect the force resistor sensor to Arduino and get the data.

Schematic

I followed this schematic to hook up the resistor:

Arduino code:

int fsrPin = 0;     // the FSR and 10K pulldown are connected to a0
int fsrReading;     // the analog reading from the FSR resistor divider
 
void setup(void) {
  Serial.begin(9600);   
}
 
void loop(void) {
  fsrReading = analogRead(fsrPin);  
 
  Serial.print("Analog reading = ");
  Serial.print(fsrReading); 
}

Next steps:

• Work on the jumpability of the game
• Set up the jumping area->work on the sensitivity of the sensors
• Fix the bugs with lives
