Neopixel code adjusted to change colors and brightness with the music volume:

Magnetic levitation apparatus- due to malfunctions with hand-soldered kit, an assembled unit was purchased and tested:

Soldering a new levitation apparatus:

Suggestion for using slip ring(centered) and drive motor(on side) to rotate levitation apparatus:

Project Table team got their monitor working at long last, when the new power supply arrived:

 

 

The Chairmen team gets their full-size table base working:

 Musical Serenade:

The Lazy Team:

                The servomotors stopped working reliably.

                 The 4 'AA' batteries were replaced, as their voltage had declined significantly. It was suggested to use a 6V DC wall adapter to insure adequate current.

                  The button presses were also unreliable. New buttons were soldered

  It was suggested:

(1) Servo sequences should be put into functions, to make the code more modular;

(2) "On Pin Pressed" block can be unreliable-

Start an event handler (part of the program that will run when something happens, like when a button is pressed). This handler works when you touch pin 0, 1, or 2 together with GND, and release it within 1 second. When you are using this function in a web browser, click the pins on the screen instead of the ones on the micro:bit.

(2) The "On Pin pressed" should be replaced with:

              --Add virtual pull-up resistors to the needed pins
              --The push buttons should ground the pins, which can be read with a 'digital pin read' as a button push

Not sure exactly how garment recognition is being handled; suggested using sample code from

1) Train Model using Teachable Machine; export model

2) Paste model into https://makeairobots.com/

3) Modify Example Code to trigger device
