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.

CIRCUT 1: BLINKING A LED

This is an illustration for the completed circuit for circuit one

This is the code for the circuit, which determines how fast the LED should blink based on the potentiometer.

This is a video of the manipulated circuit code, and the faster blinking LED.

This is a video of the LED blink being barely seen. This was done by changing the sketch.

CIRCUT 2: POTENTIOMETER

This is an image of the completed circuit for circuit 2.

This is the code for the circuit, which determines how fast the LED should blink based on the potentiometer.

This is a video of the dial of the potentiometer being turned. The LED's blinking speed changes as the dial is turned left and right.

The potentiometer is also known as a variable resistor, and it works by changing the amount of voltage it releases which is from 0 to 5 depending on the location of the knob.

CIRCUT 3: RGB LED

This is an image of the working circuit board for circuit #3.

This is the main part of the sketch

This is the led changing.

Depending on the brightness of each diode, and the combinations of colors, many different color combinations can be used in a RGB LED.

This is the sketch function for circuit 3.

CIRCUT 4:MULTIPLELEDS

This is an image of the working circuit board for circuit #4.

This is circuit 4's code function.

This is the original sketch for the LEDs.

The for()loop is used again in this skwtch function in the marquee code. When this is enabled, the lights move in a way that looks like a led sign that you would see on the road

Marquee sketch

CIRCUT 5: PUSHING BUTTONS

This is an image of the working circuit board for circuit #5.

This is the code for circuit 5. When one button is being pressed, it turns the LED on and when both are pressed the LED is turned off.

This is a video of circuit 5, where the led turned off and on according to the buttons i pushed

This is circuit 5's sketch function.

CIRCUT 6: PHOTO RESISTOR

This is an image of the working circuit board for circuit #6.

This is the code for circuit 6. We manipulated the code by changing the range of light level from its original range, (0, 1023), to (300, 800). This caused the LED to work better by turning on and off at brighter and darker ranges.
