- 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.
- 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.
