intro
In this unit we were told to create our very own robot & light show. To make this we used a program called arduino on the computer. For this program we had to do some coding to make the robots and lights do what they had to do. For a while my group didn't really know what to do or make. We finally decided to try to make two arrows that pointed at a buzzer that created noise.
concepts:
Circuit - a closed loop made of conductors and a power source usually a battery
Battery - our power source(9v)
Conductor - material that transmits heat, electricity, or sound.
Current - flow of energy or electricity
Voltage - push of electricity
Parallel circuit - circuit with two branches parallel to each other Series - circuit with one single path
Resistors - resistance against travel of electric current.
Ohm's Law - Voltage = Current x Resistance (V = IR)
Node - point on circuit where two or more circuit elements meet (usually in a parallel circuit)
LED - light-emitting diode

reflection:
At first in this project I thought it was going to be really boring. I had no idea what coding was let alone how to do it. Once I started getting into it I got really interested and was very intrigued. My partner and I had a lot of fun doing this . Towards the end of this unit we got a little more bored but it wasn't bad it was just very repetitive. In the end our arrows did not not work perfectly there were just a few errors in the code. Overall I liked this project and I wouldn't mind having a future with this.
