This was a frustrating lab as I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I got the wires connected, but I was having trouble with my force sensors so I thought that might be part of the problem. I also tried connecting the speaker to the potentiometer, but that didn't really work. I kept getting these really low sounds, but the would only be there for a few seconds and then disappear. (After going over this lab in class, I definitely figured out my problem was with my range and since I got it to work in class, I definitely want to try this lab again.)
I thought another problem could have been with the connections to my speakers since I didn't have a strong connection with that either. I definitely am understanding more what the end results are supposed to be and how to get to that point, but I think I'm still having troubleshooting my problems. I want to learn more about the Serial Monitor and how to print more information there to understand what I'm doing wrong there. I could be getting my hopes up since I'm so used to the console log in JavaScript and how you can put everything you want to know in there. I want to learn more about the different variables that we can print to the serial monitor other than our variables. For example, is there a way to see if we are connected to the right analog or dialog pin or if there is a break in the wiring.
