h1. v0.2 Detailed Design

The v0.2 design is based on the answer to Q4 of the [[Initial Questions]].  The "Fritzing drawing":https://opendesignengine.net/dmsf_files/255?download=287 shown below covers the prototype design.  The remainder of this document covers the design decisions by addressing each of the requirements.

h2. Detect movement on the exercise equipment and send walking command to video game (typically by "pressing" the 'w' key)

To meet this requirement, the v0.2 *holoseat* controller replaces the Arduino Uno + USB Keyboard Controller from v0.1 with an Arduino Leonardo.  The Leonardo has built-in "keyboard emulation":http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/KeyboardMessage

The sensing remains implemented using a reed switch.  For v0.2, the reed switch used will be a "Radioshack 55050593":http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12706328 as with the "Arduino Bike Spedometer":http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Bike-Speedometer/
