The Button Challenge

For this project, it was hard setting up the button and all the wires like the one in the picture. After I got it set up it was easy to work. But for some reason, the light would come on when the button clicked but it would stay on. So I asked Mr.Molino and he helped me find the problem with my code. Finally, the button clicked when I pressed it the first time. And it turned off the second time I pressed it.

Mixing colors with RGB bulb

This program was also easy to accomplish after I finished the previous assignment. All I had to do was add another variable to the code, and then adjust the different colors. I used the program color to help me choose which colors I wanted to display in my assignment. This code was really fun after I got the hang of it. I started helping those who didn't get it with the code.

Wiring RGB bulb

This was the start of using the RGB bulb. I had problems at first with hooking up the light and Mr. Molino hellped me with it. After that, all I had to do was plug in the code and make sure that the lights blinked correctly and that they were the right colors. This was proably the easiest code/assignment to do in the list. I had fun with this assignment. Because we got to use new equipment in our arduinio activities.

Writing your name

In this program I took the L. I wasn't understanding how to do this assignment, or why it wasn't working for me. For some reason the code and the acutal arduino prorgaming wasn't working for me. So for this assignment I decided to just skip the this program. Even Mr. Molino tried to help me with this code but he couldn't figure it out. I advise everyone to skip this code  unless you are a semi expert on coding and arduino.

Setting up 7 digit display

This assignment was also complicated. It took me a very long time for me to master this code. I took two students and the teacher to help me learn this. After I figured it out how to wire the breadboard correctly, it all came together.  Finally I got the arduino to work correctly and the lights flashed like it should have.

Button And LED

This was the last challenge that we had to complete. I had to stay afterschool to figure out this challenge. This challenge was also a bit confusing because we had to also include a piece of new equipment that we never used before. After Mr.Molino helped me with putting the code, we had problems making sure that the light turned off by the button. The light would turn on when we pressed it but it would stay on. It wouldn't go off when we pressed it; so he said to get a video of the light coming on when we pressed it.

Controlling LED with Potenntiometer

I actually enjoyed this challenge because we got to use a new piece of equipment. We also had to keep using the same LED with resistors to finish the challenge. After that we just had to input the code and adjust the Potentiometer for the light. Putting together the breadboard with all the wires and placing te potentiometer in the right place was hard. But Mr. Molino helped me with it. This challenge is almost like the next challenge involving other devices.
