Hardware

  • Uses two micro servo motors to get complete movement on the Word Hunt board.
  • Uses a q-tip and a cut pen wrapped in aluminum foil with electrical current as a conductive stylus.
  • The stylus is picked up and put down using a third micro servo motor.
  • A 9-Volt battery with a voltage divider powers the motors.

Software

  • The user inputs all 16 letters into a Java script, which then finds all possible words.
  • The Java script uses a Trie data structure parsing words from the 2019 Collins dictionary.
  • The information about each possible word is sent over socket communication to a Python script.
  • The Python script encodes the information and sends it over Serial to the Arduino.
