Conclusion
Write a conclusion (about 250 words) that describes all of your design process, mistakes you made, and major components that you used in your design, how this project was similar and different from the ones we have done so far. In addition, reflect on your work by answering following questions.
So for the design process I used a design that was sort of similar to the phone number state machine design in a way. But this design was a little bit easier to do since the equations and state graph and transition table were provided. Some mistakes I made was when I was building the circuit, I switched the inputs around which cause the program to run differently than how it was supposed to run. Another mistake was connecting the wrong wire to the AND Gates which caused the whole circuit to not work. This project was similar to the phone number state machine activity/project that we did earlier since both projects are state machines. Overall I learned a lot about how state machines work and how I would create a State Graph and a Transition table.

What did you learn about reading schematics?
I learned that while you are reading schematics you have to pay very close attention to where every component belongs. You also need to watch for mistakes on that schematics. Other then that, schematics just make building the circuit on the breadboard a whole lot easier because it allows you to understand the circuit.

Was it easier than in the beginning of the year?
It was easier to do now than in the beginning of the year because I have more experience in creating circuits on MultiSim, and wiring the circuits on the breadboards. So that's pretty much it.

What would you do differently next time?
Next time I would get the supplies to build the circuit ahead of time so that I don't have to wait for other groups to finish since waiting, could take a very long time depending on the other groups.
