Second day of project work: Button-workshop

After finding the best pattern for the buttons, we continued developing the "design" of the buttons. We tried glueing the tin foil on cardboard but found that loss of flexibility was a bad solution.

To connect the wires to the tin foil we first winded steelwire with the wire and then taped the steelwire with gaffa tape on to the tinfoil. This had the positive sideeffect of giving the tinfoil strength while it maintained its flexibillity. We tried connecting two buttons to the Arduino via a breadboard and testing how this worked. Because we ran out of materials (and time) we ended the day after making a task list and a plan for tomorrow
