Inspiration

We wanted to create something that would help people newer to engineering be able to create their first circuit easily. We also wanted to make something that would help experienced engineers read voltages in a simple way.

What it does

It takes in a voltage reading from an arduino that is connected to a bread board. The arduino then sends the voltage data to a python program that launches an app. This app has two features, one feature allows the voltage to be displayed, and the other feature shows a schematic of a circuit so that beginners can learn how to make it. After the circuit on the schematic is built, the user can test if they did it right by setting it up on the breadboard and the app will say if it was correct.

How we built it

We took an arduino and connected it to a breadboard, we then wrote a python application to take in the data and display it.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to get the user interface design the way we wanted it, we also run into a problem with a weird bug that remove some labels when the app was first launched.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we got it to work, we have done a couple hackathons in the past where the end result has not really worked all that well, having a functional product is very exciting.

What we learned

We learned to program in python better, as well as the importance of having an organized team

What's next for Bread Beast

We would like LEDs to cover every hole in the breadboard so that individual holes can be lit up depending on where things need to go, we would also like to make the design a bit slimmer so that it sits flat on the table.
