Throughout this course so far, I have thoroughly enjoyed the more hands on and interactive nature of it, even in the learning parts of it. I’ve also enjoyed the freedom we’ve had in creation, with more vague prompts for what we have to create, allowing for more interesting outcomes and allowing for problem solving. I feel these qualities reflect especially in the assessment. With only 3 open ended prompts to follow, the concept we could make to fulfil these prompts was entirely up to us.

With my poster I feel it was successful. It followed the prompt and I believe it was a decently unique premise. But, while I do feel it was successful, there are many things I could improve about it.

I mentioned in the video that the wiring was messy. Much of the messiness stemmed from the need to use alligator leads instead of regular wires. I tried to use bolts to secure the wires but they were to long to sit flush and I had trouble attaching the wires to it. I got rid of the bolts and tried attaching the wires directly to the microbit using electrical tape, however this still didn’t work as they kept moving off the contacts. So I changed to using alligator leads.

I also mentioned in the video that I feel the interaction using the A button felt unrelated to the other prompts, however I’m not too sure how I’d improve this without reworking all the interactions.

I’m somewhat disappointed with how much I had to change from my original idea. The idea for the spirit level had to be completely scrapped as I couldn’t fit it in cohesively to the new idea, having to ignore all the research I did into the coding. I feel if I had a bit more time I could have stuck with the original idea, however I wasn’t sure so I changed to my current idea which was easier to code.

Despite all this, I’m still content with my final design and have some ideas I’d like to work into my designs for the next assessment.

The code is relatively simple, with the only complex part being the excess of and logic blocks in the else if statement

This digital spirit level shares many of the ideas for what I want to do for assessment 1. The lights showing the level and audio prompt for when its tilted too far are some ideas I want to incorporate into my design.
