Had to program a microprocessor to count a pendulum swing, turns out that the only sensor I had for this wasn't working, implemented a function that simulated the swing and presented the projecto in less than 5 minutes so the teacher wouldn't notice

Very creative. Nicely done!

Thanks, my motto from that day on became "Fake it till you make it" @Jumpshot44

so when teacher stops the pendulum, it still continues to indicate that it is swinging ! ... good job by the way, teacher wouldn't notice that..

The teacher was only going to watch the presentation, and read our reports with the code and the hardware set up, and since the only problem i had was with the sensor my report was correct, and i turned the system off before stopping the pendulum, but nive try @HungryRabbit

It's the tag for the weekly rant, every week dev rant creates a topic for people rant about, this week it's the most shameless hack you have done @codebrauer
