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.

How Do Potentiometers Work?

Potentiometers work by taking the voltage from a wiper that is connected to a knob, that when you turn it it contacts a rail that is electrically charged between + and -. The volatage at the wiper is relative to the distance between the two points. The arduino uses this and assings that voltage a number, and that number is the amount of times the LED blinks.
