Week 8 Progress:

The source of the bluetooth shield error still has not been discovered. However, another problem has presented itself. The device appears to not record data from the A1 pin while the bluetooth shield is plugged in. Consultations with TA's in class resulted in the discovery that the bluetooth shield uses A1 to communicate with the Arduino and therefore the Accelerometer cannot use A1. The team is working on creating a way to bypass this problem using a breadboard and some jumper cables to redirect the input of A1 from the Accelerometer to a different analog input pin. This will result in changes to the coding in order to account for the change in pin number. Pictures of the completed bypass solution will be posted once it has been completed.

Week 8 Update: The team worked with a TA and came up with a simpler solution to the pin problem. A plier was used to bend two pins over in order to free up A1. Below is a picture of the solution.
