Meeting summary thus far.

SO.

This post will just be a quick summation of what we have achieved for the duration of our design project.
Our idea for the project is a Christmas tree that moves to the sound of music. Accessories of the tree include a blinking led which will be put at the top of the tree inside the star.
We ordered our sound sensor piece and got it work beautifully.
We created all of our components and parts on solid works such as the frame of the tree, the star of the tree, and the platform on which the tree will be mounted on. We completed and submitted our designs and should be expecting them by the our next meeting, sometime after returning from Thanksgiving break.
We have a working prototype for our code and it's a work in progress. It'll be ready in no time.
More detailed documentation are posted in blog.
