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.
Slow Blink
Fast Blink
A delay of 1000 is equal to one full second. The sketch below shows how the circuit will delay for 1000s to blink faster or slower.
The video below represents how I built a potentiometer that determines how slow or fast the LED in shown to blink. The knob controls the amount of voltage being used to operate the LED device.
The sketch below shows how depending on the different colorway the color and brightness of the LED can be altered.
Rainbow Blink
The code below used the loop () to alter the pattern in which it is displayed. Underneath there are two videos, the ping pong, and marque sketch in which both were rearranged in the code to represent a different function.
Marque Sketch
Ping Pong Sketch
When pushing the buttons, the voltage is affected by either increasing or decreasing. The arduino is structered to read accordingly once pressed. The resister is used to help prevent any malfunction with mis-readings.
Below, I altered the sketch by converting (0,1023) into (300,800). In the end, the LED is able to dim or brighten when told.
