I cut the top off the float ball and removed the stem as well. I cut out a round piece of particle board and drilled a hole in the middle to fit inside. I then glued the 4 mercury switches down on the particle board. I then wired all 4 of them along with the toggle switch in series, which I connected to the sound chip. The sound will only play if the toggle switch is on, and the device is held level. All 4 mercury switches must have the ball of liquid mercury touching the two leads on the inside for the sound to play. A tilt of only a couple degrees will break the circuit.
== '''Final Project''' ==
I am still unsure at this time what my final project will be just yet. I received my freeduino from NKC electronics earlier this week, but unfortunately the 16 mhz crystal that was in the kit was broken and I am waiting on a replacement.
