Arudino Introduction

We started our first day working on Arudino! We had a few mini programming challenges to get us familiar with this open source education based electronics prototyping platform.

1. Blink with Delay of 10: this code made the "blink" action so fast that human eyes can not see it. This shows the remarkable speed at which the Arudino works at.













2. Pattern at least 3 LEDs of different colors using the delay function
 















3. Use the potentiometer to change something in the LED behavior
This was actually more challenging than it seemed to arrange all of the parts on the breadboard because adding the potentiometer required adding more wires compared to just the LEDs.





















4.Pattern with at least 3 LEDs of different colors that does not use the delay() function

  1. I thought your use of bang-bang control to turn the led light on and off based on the brightness of the room sensed by the photocell is an interesting display of feedback and control and of how analog signals can be converted into information using computation in order to deliver a desired output. I think that making these kinds of connections can be useful in solidifying your conceptual understanding!
