As i was linking up the sensor to the circuitry with the LEDs connected and the code written out, i managed to accidentally plug the wrong wire into the wrong place. This resulted in SMOKE coming from the motion sensor, it being so hot that i burnt the skin off my thumb and the sensor no longer working.
I FRIED A SENSOR!
This is really unfortunate, and it means i have no sensor unless i scavenge something from another device. The place that i purchased the sensor from in the first place would take to long to deliver a new sensor, which means i can't purchase from there again. Fantastic.
This is a really unfortunate event results in me not having a final prototype to present to the class, but just working off images and videos i have taken before the sensor fried on tuesday morning. Hopefully imagery is enough.
