Process

Our design process involved several stages, each with its own challenges and learnings:

Research

• Analyzed LumiTouch's key features and significance
• Created a bill of materials, modifying it based on feedback (e.g., using touch sensors instead of piezo sensors)
• Developed a high-level workflow diagram for the desired logic
  
  Prototyping & Debugging
  Adopted an incremental approach, adding components gradually
• Started with a simple touch sensor and LED circuit
• Implemented Webhooks to connect two devices, facing significant challenges in configuration and debugging
• Integrated NeoPixel strips in place of LED
• Created a rough cardboard model of the form to test ergonomics and component placement
• Added a second touch sensor in both circuits, encountering and resolving configuration issues
• Placed functioning circuits in the final foam board model of Memeonic
  
  Key challenges included:
• Webhook configuration and debugging, requiring multiple iterations and external help
• Ensuring correct syntax in configuration files (e.g., 'access_token' vs 'access_code')
• Integrating multiple sensors and managing their interactions
