Objective:

CoinBot plays Heads or Tails in a best 2 out of 3 match with a player. CoinBot will flip the coin using a solenoid, recognizes the outcome, and responds accordingly with his voice. Tallies and announces the final score of the match.

Testing:

Testing included measuring current to the two solenoids to make sure the power transistors were properly being triggered and in the fully saturated zone. The biasing voltage was also measured at this time while adjusting the gain of the non-inverting amplifiers to achieve full saturation without over-biasing the power transistors.

Problems Faced:

- Finding appropriate solenoid
- Properly triggering the transistor to power the jaw solenoid Choosing Capacitor value for filter in triggering circuit
- Calibrating Sensors
