/* Bench Press Recorder
> This is a project that I worked on for a class in my freshman year at UNG.
> Its goal is to serve as an easy way to record the number of reps that you do with a barbell in the gym.
//
> The design consists of a magnetic mounting counter that goes onto the bench press rack and a infared emmiter that goes on the barbell. In application this should be a "smart" clip that holds the weight on and records your workout.
> I built the digital logic circuit that records reps based on an infared detector. I also 3d printed an enclosure and inlayed magnents for easy use.
*/
/* What I learned
> I should have bought a microcontroller instead of being cheap with the chips that I had, I could have used a better senesor and not needed anything on the barbell.
> My magnents where to weak and the whole device would slide down on certain metal surfaces.
