5th Week - Arduino Projects

This week in CAD, we continued to learn about Arduinos. Some of the new components used were the knob, pressure sensor, and tilt sensor. The two directional tilt sensor functioned similarly to a switch, as I used to turn a light on and off depending on which way it was tilted. The pressure sensor worked well at changing the intensity at which an LED was lit. Another cool piece of coding that we looked at was one that made a series of LED lights turn on and off so that it looked like the car from the show Night Rider.
Some small groups were assembled to think of an idea for a project to work on that involves Arduinos and our group settled on the idea of making an LED cube which we can light up in different patterns using the Arduino.
