1st step: choosing our components

A project log for 2D LED Ping ball

We want to create a kind of joystick, using an accelerometer, that follows the movement of our hands and that display it on a LED matrix

We first started by finding the composants that we needed in order to do our project. An accelerometer was the obvious choice as we needed something that will follow our movement. Then, based on what was already at our disposal, we chose to go with an LED matrix instead of joining numerous LEDs together. But, it was obviious that an 8x8 LED matrix wasn't going to be large enough to follow our movement correctly, so we ordered an 3x8x32 matrix and that should be more than enough space. Since we needed another output, we also ordered a speaker, we want the sound/music to change based on our movement ( ex : we move to the right -> the music gets higher/louder ; we move to the left -> the music gets lower/quieter ).
