Wiring

Wiring has been a little bit of an issue and will be an ongoing process.
I originally started by hooking up all the sensors in parallel and connected them directly to the Teensy 3.0.

I kept on running into issues of the board shutting off and/or not turning on again while there were multiple sensors connected.

I discovered that the sensors were exceeding the boards amp rating and needed an external power source to function properly.

So, after learning that I decided to hook up a coin cell battery to power the resistors. So far it has worked out pretty well. I havent really run across any problems but only time will tell.
