Arduino Introduction

Last Friday the class started our new project with an introduction to Arduino. My partner for this new project is Jennifer.


Challenge #1: Blink with delay of 10
For this challenge we learned that time in Arduino is in milliseconds so a delay of 10 is 10 milliseconds which is so fast that the human eye cannot register it.

Challenge #2 Pattern with 3 different LEDs using the delay function
We added an output per pin and set their delays to be different intervals.



Challenge #3 Use potentiometer to change LED blinking behavior



Challenge #4 Pattern 3 different LEDs without using the delay function




Reflection:
I found figuring out what to comment was the hardest part since I initially did not understand how the language of Arduino worked but as I got more experience with it the easier it got and the more enjoyable it became. The greatest part of learning Arduino was seeing our code work. Watching the LEDs blink the way we wanted them to was so satisfying.
