Project 16: The Traffic Light RGB

For this project, we made the light turn blue and green but it was supposed to turn yellow when being reflected. The part where the light should turn yellow didn't work out. When the light is reflected on my hand, a purple light would appear along with green and blue since those are the colors you will see in LED. This one was interesting along with the last project. The picture to the top left shows how the light from the side. The picture in the bottom left shows the reflection of the light on my hand. The picture to the right shows the light from the top point of view. There happens to be light spectrum in the picture to the right and you can see all three colors I mentioned above. 

Project 15: Wiring the RGB Bulb



For this project, we made the light color go from green and blue to red and purple. In the pictures on the sides, it looks like one solid color but you have to see it in person. The coding had specific colors but when we did it on our own, the colors looked as if they were mixed. The picture to the left, the light is supposed to green and blue but it shows to be green than blue. The picture to the right, the light is supposed purple and red but it shows as if it's only purple. I got to say this project was actually cool to see since you could change the LED colors through coding. I might want to do more things like this in class.



Project 14: Counting with the 7 Segment Display

For this project, we made numbers appear on the 7 segment display. In the picture below, it shows a 2. First we made 0 blink then 1 then 2 and we happen to get a picture of the 2. For both of the functions, we had to use 5 segments so it would be blink. There are 10 functions that will be performed. The coding would start at zero then would go up to 9 since those are numbers that will appear on the 7 segment display board. That's all for this project!!

Project 13: Writing Your Name

For this project, we used the seven segment object to write our name. In the picture below, we used the letter A as the picture since we both have A's in our name. The coding was very long but simple if you understand the way it was setup. As you copy the code onto the arduino, each letter of my name would blink after each other. For my name it would look like K if possible, A, Y if possible, L, A. My name would be simple if the K and Y would be able to work. That would be really cool to see my name to blink on the seven segment.

Project 12: Seven Segment Display

For this project, we used a seven segment and its in a shape of an 8. We used 7-8 resistors and 8 wires to connect the Arduino and the breadboard. The wires would be plugged into the breadboard parallel of each other. Resistors would be in the same area as the wires and would be plugged towards the seven segment object. First would use 2 wires to see if the segment would be blink, then set up the rest of the wires. Same procedure with the resistors. There was a code simple enough to make all the segments blink at the same time. We were very successful when making the light blink.

Project 11: The Button Challenge

This project is the continued part of Project 10 and it becomes more difficult. This project happens to be a challenge for some people. The picture below happens to be from Project 10 since that would be a result. We used the same setup but added a new part to the coding. For this one, we added a 0 variable to see if the light turn on when we push the button then we change the variable to 1. The code was very simple for this challenge but don't get fooled by these codes since it's a lot of work.

Project 10: Push a Button and Turn On LED

For this project, we will push a button and turn on the LED. In the picture below, there are multiple wires and resistors. There's also a button you will click for the light to blink or turn on. There are 6 wires and 3 resistors involved and happens to be able to connect to each other. As we get to more tutorials, it will get harder.
