Maybe.

[Edit: Since having many failed attempts at the motor control, I have decided to re-route my final.]
Update: I have only been able to get the tilt sensor to work outside of the toy. The complicated circuitry in the toy is making for a very difficult transplant.

'''Final Project Write Up'''
For my final project, instead of a self-guiding toy, I have decided to create a seven segmented clock display that estimates time.
It will include the hour through one seven-segment number displays and one two-segment addition (for 10, 11, and 12 o'clock).
To indicate the minutes the "clock" will display a different color depending on the minutes... (green if closer to :00 and red if close to :59)
If possible it will include three colors, but we'll see how the charlieplexing goes.
[At this point the outputs are all being used, so charlieplexing is my only option for multiple colors.]

So far I've got the green part working.
Now for the charlieplexing!
