Team Work
As a team we all work well together. We came up with our concept and developed our ideas; feeding off one another and came up with strong concepts and a final that worked and presented our idea well. For this assignment there wasn't anything we could work on separately so all work was done and developed together through meeting up outside of class.

Week of presentation
We added an Arduino to show the feedback of a flashing LED light that would happen once reaching a sustainable amount of water used. We used the Arduino code to delay and turn on the light once getting through 1.5L of water that we used for our presentation. We worked out how many turns it did in a certain time and for the 1.5L.
We made our water wheel inside a pipe to show how it would really work and what it could look like.
Kept the connections to the calculator and reed switch. Covering it so we were able to present our concept actually using water.
calculations to figure out sustainable volume of water and how long it would be. Also helping us set up the Arduino code.

Interim Feedback and Precedent Work
- Fit into waste pipe
- How does it communicate the message?
- Add Arduino
- Serial monitor counts turns of wheel
- Focus on volume of water being used
- Put into a pipe to show it better
- What would it look like and where would it go?
What we need:
LED light
More wire
1K resistor
NEST- https://nest.com
When thinking about how we would portray our system and how it would look we got inspiration for the aesthetics from nest. We wanted it to be clear and understandable and look good too.

Looking At Other Speedomonitor Examples
http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Skateboard-Speedometer/
-An arduino connected to a LED screen catching the amount of turns the skateboard wheel does swell as showing how fast it is going.

- Turns, revolution and rotation counter. Hacking a calculator and connecting wires to a reed switch, when it is closed by a magnet it adds up on the calculator.
