In our second recitation, we learned more about the Arduino IDE and did some activities with it, it’s quite an interesting recitation and I think I learned a lot from this class.
Step 1: Fade
In step 1 I successfully built the circuit quickly with the help of guidelines, since I learned something about Arduino before, this step is not hard for me. I just put LED, resistor, and wires rightly on the breadboard, and it works. However, to built a circuit all by myself still made me feel really excited.
Step 2: toneMelody
ToneMelody requires more skills than the step one, yet it still not pretty hard since it’s circuit have some kind of similarities to the circuit in step one,after I made the buzzer in the right place, the circuit soon be completed.
Step 3:Speed Game
I work together with Haowei (hd2420) in this step, it take us a while to built the circuit since it is much complicated than the former steps, and the problems came out that when we finish out circuit, it doesn’t work! We checked out wires again and again but they do in the right place, finally we ask our professor also teaching assistants, finally we found the the issue happened because our Arduino program lost an important part, after we fixed the program, it goes well, and we’re happy to see that.
This is my schematic of step 3.
In all, I’m so excited to be able to work in the recitation and learned more about the Arduino, it really makes me happy.
Answers to the 3 questions:
1.I think there could be another button besides each origin button,which used for stop you rival, if you push this button, your rival will receive a minus 1 in his or hers record, this will make you have to choose whether to add more to yourself or stop your opposite, and that will made this game more competitive, which will also made it more interesting.
2.Large resistors protect current readings from external influences, so that the result will be more accurate and the game are fair.
3.The project I chose is a Smart Trashbin, I choose it because first it was built mostly by things we are easy to get or already have, what’s more, it is really useful in our daily life, and it was made by collaborate, I do think this is an interesting project.
