1. Introduction
   a. Purpose
   

   To improve upon the design and schematics of the Dance Dance Revolution Board our group designed last semester. The page detailing that project can be found here: Dance Dance Revolution Pad. The improvements we plan on making are detailed below.

   • Reducing cross-resistivity in order to make the board less responsive to inputs.
   • Clean up the electronics to make the board look cleaner and more professional.
     • Such as:
       • Using wire sheaths and wire ties to combine and organize wires.
       • Making the breadboard look a bit more professional.
       • Making a casing for the breadboard and Arduino Leonardo.
       • Better and more consistent soldering of force-sensitive resistors (we broke too many last semester).
   
   
   
2. Block Diagram and Flow Chart
   
   System Overview: This is our block diagram from our project last semester, but we mainly want to focus and improve upon the functioning of the pressure input made by the player, so that it is more fine tuned to faster and more precise inputs.
   
   
3. Required Materials
   • Machine Shop
   • Wire Sheaths
   • Wire Ties
   • Wire
   • Red LEDs
   • Force-sensitive resistors
     
     
4. Possible Challenges
   • Being able to effectively organize the wires we are using
   • 3D modeling and printing of a case for the breadboard and Arduino
   • Soldering force-sensitive resistors
     
     
5. Future Plans
   • Have it ready to show off by Engineering Open House
   • We also plan on making a game during the second part of the semester, after we are finished with the DDR Board and the Engineering Open House has passed
   • Case for breadboard and Arduino and add lighting effects, if time allows
     
     
6. References
   • None

Proposal 2: Some Sort of Game

We plan on using a high level programming language in order to design a game. We will have more details as the semester progresses, when we are able to finish building on the DDR Board and can focus more on this second project of ours.
