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:
Desc:
This circuit contained a small flashing LED light. Me and my partner speed up the function to be as fast as possible while still being perceptible. The camera's shutter speed didn't capture the speed at which the light flickers
Circuit 2:
Desc:
In this circuit there's a potentiometer. The purpose of the potentiometer is to control the LED. The output from the potentiometer is given as input for the led light. The less output the slower the light blinks, the faster the output the faster the light blinks.
Circuit 3:
Desc:
This circuit included a color changed LED light. The Code made the light slowly change RGB values. The affect was the full spectrum of colors displayed from the light.
Circuit 4:
Desc:
This circuit included multiple LEDs flashing in a sequence. The light gives the illusion of a passing strip of light. The code turns on the leading LED while turning off the trailing LED.
Desc:
In this example we sped up the function. We also added a reversed duplicate of the code. The affect made it so that the light strip passes back and forth between the ends. This video is slowed down to see each individual change.
Circuit 5:
Desc:
The circuit involves two buttons. Even though the buttons run the same function they can used together. When the button is pushed down it tells the LED to turn on, when the button is released the LED turns off.
Circuit 6:
Desc:
This circuit covers a photoresistor, the photoresistor senses light and uses that output for the input for the light. Me and my partner modified the code to turn on the LED when the photoresistor doesn't sense light. This type of technology is used in nightlights and lamp posts.
Circuit 7:
Desc:
The main component of this circuit is the temperature sensor. The code prints the output from the sensor every second. The result is an accurate temperature gauge. The video shows my partner touching the sensor to change the output.
Circuit 8:
Desc:
This circuit revolves around a servo. The servo makes very calculated turns. These motors are used to make specific angular motions. Me and my partner modified the code to make the servo rotate 180 degrees twice at a slow speed then two 180 degree rotations as fast a possible.
Circuit 9:
Desc:
This circuit consists of a buzzer. This buzzer vibrates at specific speeds in order to display different pitches of sounds. In the code we defined the frequency and the letter of each note before creating a small 1-1-2 pattern.
[No Code]
Circuit 10:
Desc:
For this circuit we wired a motor and set its speed as fast a possible. Then we attached a substitute propeller to the shaft. The propeller worked as a fan and it functioned very well.
Circuit 11:
Desc:
This circuit has a switch, every time you flipped the switch it played a small sound and turned on one LED while turning off the other.
Circuit 12:
Desc:
This circuit included multiple functions. The function would turn and turn off the LEDs in a specific pattern. Me and my partner modified the code to run multiple functions at the same time. This video is the result.
