User Exp
Approaching moving or stationery objects but doesn’t say if its moving because it doesn’t matter
Warns user to prevent from going out into the street
Warns distance of the curb from the current location of the User
Tells the distance of the building from the User
Wheel-alignment sensor
User input(a button that will potentially tell the User which direction they are going)
ON/OFF SWITCH
Side Goals:
Tells the user which side the curb would be
Tell the user how long they have before they hit the object or curb
We also finished the code and recordings for the user portion of the project, we ran into a little trouble with the circuit working, we think it could be because we used a SDHC card instead of a SD card, tomorrow we are going to test it with a regular SD card, if it is the circuit itself, Joe will be our savior and make a second working circuit!
Here is the code that Joe worked on

#include “WaveUtil.h”
#include “WaveHC.h”
SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the card
FatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root; // This holds the information for the filesystem on the card
FatReader f; // This holds the information for the file we’re play
WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
#define DEBOUNCE 5 // button debouncer
// here is where we define the buttons that we’ll use. button “1” is the first, button “6” is the 6th, etc
byte buttons[] = {
3,4,5,6,7,8};
// This handy macro lets us determine how big the array up above is, by checking the size
#define NUMBUTTONS sizeof(buttons)
// we will track if a button is just pressed, just released, or ‘pressed’ (the current state
volatile byte pressed[NUMBUTTONS], justpressed[NUMBUTTONS], justreleased[NUMBUTTONS];
int currTrack = 0;
// this handy function will return the number of bytes currently free in RAM, great for debugging!

During this workshop, we had each had a chance of talking to the female workers at Clear about our Legacy projects. I was talking to a lady named Hayley and she said her brother was color-blind and he was in college. She said he sometimes had so much trouble with deciding what to wear because of his disability and because of that he would even send her pictures of himself wear the clothing and askign her opinion on how it is. From this conversation, I got a strong feeling that if the Fashionator were to be finished and finalized, many people would be able to benefit from it and the original goal, to help the blind and the visually-impaired, would be reached to the greatest extend.
