April 1 Dancer Project

April 1 Dancer Project Document from Barry -

Here is a word file with wiring diagram for the baton operated dancer. It is written in 3 parts to make it easier.

First the ultrasonic sensor which we have previously done, second the servo motor which we have also done and finally the combined system, all with Arduino c source Code.
