UPDATES:
wEEK 1: tHIS WEEK, i HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE LED MATRIX CODE TO BE ABLE TO USE IT AS A SCORE BOARD WHEN THE GOALIE BLOCKS IT OR WHEN THE USER SCORES. tHIS WOULD BE USED TO HELP THE USER SEE IF HE IS WINNING AGAINS THE aI. hOPEFULLY AFTER CREATING THE LED CODE, i WOULD GO TO THE SENSOR CODE. tHE SENSOR CODE WOULD BE USEFUL TO NOTIFY THE SCORE BOARD IF THE BALL CROSSES THE LINE. thIS DETERMINES IF THE USER MADE A GOAL. sTILL WAITING ON SOME PARTS FOR THE PROJECT, AND HOPEFULLY THEY COME IN SOON TO BE ABLE TO DEBUG MY CODE.
Week2: sTARTED TO WORK WITH THE ULTRASONIC SENSOR so that it can detect the bouncing ball when it crosses the sensors. When it crosses the sensor, it should send a message to the led and the uart that its a goal.
Week3: Now I am working on trying to send data to the led matrix when the user scores and the ball crosses the ultrasonic sensor. I am having a difficult time having the two peripherals talking to each other. this lets the user know that the goal counted and it "crossed the line" like in soccer. Hopefully i finish this part quick, so i can have time to make an object to block the goals.
