Problems

I’ve run into a few problems.  I came up with an ingenious solution to detecting whether the wind (or breath) is blowing or not.  It involved a bending piece of metal and some delicate positioning.  However, I don’t think that can be done very easily, so it must be put off until everything else is finished.

 Additionally, my mouse buttons refuse to de-solder and come off the board.  My soldering iron isn’t getting hot enough to melt solder, either.  I ended up breaking one of the buttons, so hopefully I can attach the wire to the broken piece.  Still, I’m worried I won’t be able to finish the buttons for the presentation on Friday.
