Arduino

ARDUINO IS AN OPEN-SOURCE PHYSICAL COMPUTING PLATFORM DESIGNED TO MAKE EXPERIMENTING WITH ELECTRONICS MORE FUN AND INTUITIVE. ARDUINO HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE, SIMPLIFIED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, A VAST SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THOUSANDS OF POTENTIAL USES, MAKING IT THE PERFECT PLATFORM FOR BOTH BEGINNER AND ADVANCED DIY ENTHUSIASTS.

Circuit 1

Circuit 1 Original

Manipulating the Code

Circuit 1 Blinking really fast

I changed the delay to 20 milliseconds to make the LED blink so quick that the lights looks like it stays on.

Circuit 2

Using the Potentiometer to make the blinking faster

How the Potentiometer Works

The potentiometer is a voltage divider. When you turn it, the center pin will adjust from 0V to 5V. This is connected to the Sensor Value Pin and the arduino changes the sensor value variable to make the light blink quicker.

Circuit 3

LED blinking different colors

Manipulating the Code

I made the mainColors a comment so that it would only play the showSpectrum function

Circuit 4

Default Code for Circuit 4

Manipulating the Code

Blinking Once at a Time

Blinking randomly

Made every other function a comment besides the oneOnAtATime

Made every other function a comment besides the randomLED

Circuit 5

Buttons to turn on LED

Circuit 6

Led never turns off but will get brighter when pressed

Manipulating the Code

LED lights up when the photosensor is clicked

ManualTune: It will never turn the LED off and it will manually change the range from light to dark. The Pro of this that you can manually change the range. The Con is that it can never turn fully off.

AutoTune: It can fully turn off the LED and the Arduino will do the work for you. The Pro for this code is that the Arduino will remember the code and do the work for you. The Con of this code is that it could in some cases be lest realistic.
