A project log for Motion Sensor Audio Trigger

To ensure that the music in a gallery installation isn't annoying to staff, I am building a motion-triggered "MIDI Footpedal".

Yesterday I spent my time soldering the components to a Radio Shack project board. Overall, I was successful. The one exception to this success was accidentally covering the 3V rail of the Feather to the ground rail of the project board. When the sensor was connected, the device acted as if the sensor was always on. While this was a setback, I am thankful that this misrouting didn't cause me to fry any of the components.

Using the Adafruit box I received the components in, I fashioned an enclosure for the completed device. The following image is a process photo of the fabrication process. The box will live inside a rack along with the rest of the gear needed for audio playback in the venue.
