It went fairly well, though it took us all but the last 3 minutes of the 3-hr timeslot to finish.  Below is a video clip of our functional final project, er&#8230; functioning.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to drive the stepper motor at a rate of 10 steps per second, while flashing &#8216;0&#8217; on the 7-segment display at a rate of 5 Hz.  The stepper motor would turn until reaching the optical sensor, at which point it stops and allows the user to manually move it to a new position.  When the pushbutton is pressed, the stepper motor turns back on and moves to the optical sensor again.<\/p>\n<p>The cooler part was that on power-up, we also perfectly center the bar underneath the optical sensor by swinging back and forth to detect both edges.  That looked really sweet but I didn&#8217;t think to record it.
