Pre-tinning wires ready for soldering on to the LCD.

After spending a long long long time playing with the button and LED attempting to make the button turn the light on and off I found an example online which made so much sense! :D Here it is...

int inPin = 2; // the number of the input pin int outPin = 13; // the number of the output pin int state = HIGH; // the current state of the output pin int reading; // the current reading from the input pin int previous = LOW; // the previous reading from the input pin // the follow variables are long's because the time, measured in miliseconds, // will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int. long time = 0; // the last time the output pin was toggled long debounce = 200; // the debounce time, increase if the output flickers void setup() { pinMode(inPin, INPUT); pinMode(outPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { reading = digitalRead(inPin); // if the input just went from LOW and HIGH and we've waited long enough // to ignore any noise on the circuit, toggle the output pin and remember // the time if (reading == HIGH && previous == LOW && millis() - time > debounce) { if (state == HIGH) state = LOW; else state = HIGH; time = millis(); } digitalWrite(outPin, state); previous = reading; }

After 6hrs of trial and error I finally worked out how to turn the led on and off with the one button! Thank goodness!

Tonight's task since apparently I don't understand electronics all that well... :)

My arduino kit has arrived! Can't wait to start using it!! :D

A fun video explaining the narrative of our project :)

We decided to put a red LED inside a fish which is supposed to be the heart. While just swimming about the LED flashes steadily. However when the shark bites the fish's tail the light flashes faster, i.e. the fish's heart beats faster. Meet Hui and Steven :)

This week we learned to use an LDR (Light dependent resistor) to control how fast an LED flashes. For next week we've to create something which will respond to light.

Our names in morse code. Alcorn-Allan. :)

Code for mine and Chloe's morse code names. :)

awesome little project! found on http://mylifescoop.com/2013/06/05/5-amazingly-cool-arduino-projects/

Magic 8 Balls are sooo twenty years ago. It’s time to update the handheld fortune-telling device for the 21st century. With an Arduino board and a bit of ingenuity, you can. This project uses a simple LCD screen, a button, and some LED lights encased in an old cigar box to create a fortune-telling robot that displays a fortune, along with a lucky number, whenever someone pushes the button.

This example of arduino is great and will inspire us in our project.

While thinking about what to do for our arduino project I researched different ways in which it is used.

This is my final 2 minute film submission. Meg's Roundup in user testing. Thank you to everyone who tested it! :D

We were split into our groups and given 3hours to design and program a "micro pet". My group decided to program a dog which would respond to being touched, in different place, in different ways.

This is the video we produced.
