Arduino is an open-sourced physical computing platform design to make experimenting with electronics more fun and intuitive. Arduino has it's own unique simplified programing language, a vast support network, and thousands of potential uses, making it the perfect platform for both beginner and advanced DIY enthusiast.
The delay function represented by delay() changes the interval that the light blinks at- it is the distance in milliseconds between the blink
By changing the delay function down to 10 the light blinks so fast it appears as a solid light-- every 10 milliseconds .
This is the diagram that explains the electrical innerworkings of the electrical circuit.
To activate the show spectrum function all we had to do was void the 'showspectrum' function when it was first mentioned in the code thus intern overriding the active function. (the same effect can be shown by simply commenting out the other functions)
By uncommenting the various functions we can activate the new function and comment out the old one (as not to overlap the 2)
this video demonstrates how the xor gate works.
XOR gate explanation: A XOR gate (similar to the regular OR gate) works when either 1 input 1 or 2 (buttons) are pressed but not both.
The auto tune function takes note of the environment more but also flickers a lot more than the manual tune option
allows you to set your own light threshold levels to avoid needless flickering but is completely dependent on values given by the person doing the code
This is the serial moniter, this is where the temperature is recorded in the arduino ide
This edited code sets a range of values that the temperature sensor will output to the led at
(if >than 70 on if < than 70 off)
This is the base codes effects on the servo motor
This is a function that we added to the circuits code in order to show delays and speed changes
this shows how the music is composed in order
This is a pizeo element it works by vibrating a crystal at a certin frequency based on the inputs.
A frequency corresponds every note
this code assigns a note value to the frequency in hz of that note for easier music writing
When activated this function will ramp up and down the motors acceleration
This is a relay, it is basically a switch that is operated by code, the code is switching which led is powerd
This code shows how the relay is switching through the leds
This is the imperial march from star wars played on a Pizeo electric speaker
This is the default option for code of this circuit
When we "un comment" these functions and re comment the active function we can activate the new functions
