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 - Blinking a led

This blinking led is just a basic example of what Arduinos can be used for what it can cause. There is a light that blinks on its own forever.

In this video, it will feature that the LED is blinking normally.

This is a blueprint how the wiring and parts are set up.

In this video, it will feature that the LED is blinking way more faster

Circuit #2 - Potentiometer

This circuit is about using a small tool, called the potentiometer, to make the blinking LED very dim and not so bright.

Original Code and Demonstration

In this video, it will feature that I am turning the potentiometer and it is making the LED dim and then blinking brightly.

Circuit #3 - RGB LED

This circuit is about the LED light changing colors. Yes, changing colors, the one thing a lot of people like. The LED light is able to change into all of the colors that there is, which it fades into different colors which adds a little cool effect to color changing.

Original Code and Demonstration

In this video, it will feature that the LED is very colorful and that it fades smoothly into a different shade of color.

Circuit #4 - Multiple LEDs

This one is fascinating because this is where there are multiple LED lights, and that they're all lined up in a line, side-by-side, and when it lights up, it looks so amazing, including with adding a red-yellow light pattern.

Original Code and Demonstration

In this video it will feature that when I plug in the wire into the Arduino, the LEDs all light up and they do a little fascinating scenario.

Circuit #5 - Push Buttons

This one is pretty cool because this is where you can just click a button and the LED will flash for a second, so if you were to repeatedly tap the buttons, you can make the LEDs flash pretty crazy.

Original Code and Demonstration

In this video, it will feature Josh repeatedly tap the buttons to make the LEDs flash very crazy.

Circuit #6 - Photo Resistor

This one is what a lot of neighborhoods and streets use because this is where if a light were to be on and it was affecting the sensor, then it will make the LED dim so low. However, if you were to darken the area around the sensor, then it will make the LED brighter.

Original Code and Demonstration

In this video, it will feature me and Josh and also Mr. Swick covering the light sensor with various objects that will make the LED brighter and also light to make it dimmer.

Circuit #7 - Temperature Sensor

This one is what is used for trying to find the temperature because it can really can detect the temperature anywhere; rooms, houses, places, and outside.

Original Code and Demonstration Modified Code and Demonstration

20210920_134330.mp4

In this video, it will feature that we are tracking the temperature with the computer at normal speed

This is a blueprint how the wiring and parts are set up.

In this video, it will feature that we are tracking the temperature with the computer at very fast speed.

Circuit #8 - A Single Servo

This is about a small device called the servo, which is like a mini turbine that rotates very slowly, and it is powered by the Arduino's code.

Original Code and Demonstration

20210920_135124.mp4

In this video, it will feature that Josh is activating the Servo Motion and it will show how slow it is going.

Circuit # 9 -Piezo Elements

This one is my favorite one (yet it may seem annoying to others due to how many times other people were trying it out in Mr. Swick's work area) because this one is where we were able to make a little speaker start playing a mini song.

Original Code and Demonstration

20210920_135931.mp4

In this video, it will feature that the little speaker is playing a pixelated song and there is a LED that flashes every time a note is played

This is a blueprint how the wiring and parts are set up.

Circuit #10 - Spinning a Motor

This circuit is the one Josh and I failed at working. What this was supposed to do was that it was supposed to make the attached pin spin so fast, and we could add tape or a stick note to show that it was spinning. What I believe what we failed on was wiring because this one involved a lot of wires than usual.

Original Code and Attempted Try

In this photo, it shows that we tried to make the wiring and also other additional parts work the motor so it could turn on, but we didn't manage to do it.

Circuit #11 - Relays

This circuit may remind you a whole lot about cars because of how their tail lights seem to blink just like these LEDS; they blink back and forth.

Original Code and Demonstration

20210921_140856.mp4

This video will feature the LEDs blinking back and forth, kind of like the tail lights of a car

This is a blueprint how the wiring and parts are set up.

Circuit #12 - Shift Register

This circuit can remind you about how airport roads have lights that light up so it could show where the airplane should take off, which is basically what happens; the LEDs light up and then they turn off.

Original Code and Demonstration

20210922_132257_1.mp4

In this video, it will feature LEDs that are lined up in two rows, and they will light up and will turn off in a nice way.
