Hello!

Here is the evidence from the lessons

Lesson 4: (this feed includes the button presses from class)

Lesson 5:

The flash led worked but I couldn’t get a video of it since the widget was on my phone :/ But it worked! I got an email.

Lesson 6

Here is my Bill of Materials for my final project the personal dining table

Here is my blinking onboard led from the huzzah:

Here are my 3 ideas for my final project:

My first idea is a plant holder that provides light to the plant but also has the predicts the weather for the next day by changing the color of the light.

Idea #2 is a portable dining table for people who have to eat meals away from home or at their desk. The main goal is to ritualize eating again even if we have to rush or eat alone. It would sense when plates were loaded onto the tray and it would light up with a calming sequence of colors and also post on twitter that you are eating and that you should not be bothered for  the next hour.

 

Idea #3 is a small lamp that you attach to your wall. It senses you coming and then it lights up with the weather forecast for the day so you don’t forget your umbrella after you’ve left the front door and have to come back like I often do.

Hello! Here are the videos for this weeks homework. I was a little scared to use the solder on the arduino because I wasn’t sure if I would do it correctly or have to remove the solder and start again. It also took me a second to find the right diode.

Here are the videos for the Arduino exercises. I liked this week’s exercises because they were a little more challenging and got me thinking of ways of using arduino in real life.

Exercise 1: Digital Input

Exercise 2: Serial Monitor

For the Arduino circuit of my own, I made 2 arduino buttons turn the red led light on and off.I used tinkercad first and it was incredibly helpful.

Link to the public tinkercad circuit here:

// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
const int buttonPinOff = 4;

// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
int buttonState2 = 0;

void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(buttonPinOff,INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
buttonState2 = digitalRead(buttonPinOff);

// check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == LOW) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
if (buttonState2 == LOW){
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}

//else {
// turn LED off:
//digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
// }


}
