Learning Module #1: Soldering with Nick H.

In this learning module, Nick and I had our first experience with soldering. We learned about safety precautions, soldering techniques, and materials such as resistors,, LEDs,  speakers, and wires. We are able to change the volume of a speaker, using a potentiometer.

Learning Module #2: Arduino with Dylan H.

Dylan and I worked with an arduino, learning basic wiring and coding. We also learned about how to use a breadboard and photosensor. We were able to make an RGB LED change color based on the lighting of the room.

Learning Module #4; Alexa with Mike H/Robert F.

Mike, Rob, and I all worked on Alexa, figuring out what library we had to code it in and how to code it in general. We found two useful ways of doing so, AWS(Amazon Web Services) and Alexa Developer Console or voiceapps. Voiceapps was much simpler and easy to use, but more restrictive. while AWS and Alexa Developer Console was much more intensive and in-depth, but more confusing.  Using the AWS and Alexa Developer Console method, we created an Alexa app with its own call command and answers.

Learning Module #6: ChameLEDion with Nicholas H./Mike O.

In this learning module, Nick, Mike, and I focused on creating a shirt that would change colors to whatever it touches, like a chameleon. We did this through an arduino, color sensors, and a LED strip. The code of the arduino would take the value that the color sensors produced, and change it to an RGB value to send to the LED strip.
