Week 5 Progress

 My biggest challenge that I have had recently is getting the motors to turn off when no input music is being sent to the motor driver. The problem I am experiencing with this is that the Arduino board is constantly picking up an input signal because of the voltage input. I have tried to fix this by setting the analogWrite() function to set each of the output pins to 0. Thus far, this has not been working effectively so I will be meeting with expert, Shaun Kane, next Monday, the 17th, to discuss possible reasons why. Since my research to try and figure out the problem has not been successful, I have been working on developing a digital version of the circuitry for my final hardware set up. I want to build it digitally so that I have a visual for when I am going to construct and solder together all of the hardware that will go inside of the jacket. An image of the circuitry I have done thus far is shown below:

My goals for the following week will be to hopefully get my hardware completed with the help from my meeting with Shaun Kane and/or come up with a solution to solve the issue with the vibrating motors not stopping when the code specifically says to turn to off. Furthermore, I want to get the digital version of the circuit completed, and to begin working on the final hardware construction for the device.
