Arduino
In this unit we learned how to program lights and sound to come out of a simple breadboard. When using Arduino it was made on a redboard. Which is basically the mind of our simple tasks. Before we made our final though we had to make many circuits to get the hang of how it worked and what is connected where. After doing this we got down to work looking for what could be our song. We had a hard time though since many had been taken already. I then got the idea to make Fur Elise by Beethoven. My teammate agreed and we were able to make a really awesome rendition of it on the peizo buzzer. Then as a last minute addition we added some lights to light up when a note played.
PHYSICS CONCEPTS
Circuit: A system of electrical conductors and components forming a closed path.
Resistance: A measurement of the difficulty encountered by a power source by forcing electrical current through an electric circuit.
Voltage: An electromotive force of potential difference measured in volts.
Current: the flow of electricity which results from the ordered directional movement of electrically charged particles.
Ohms Law: States that current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
Parallel: Lines objects or planes that are side by side and having the same distance continuously space between them.
Series: A number of object or events arranged or coming one after the other in succession.
Kirchoffs Current Law: The total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction.
Kirchoffs Voltage Law: The sum of voltages around a current must equal zero
Bread Board: construction base for prototyping of electronics, and experimenting with circuit design.
Programming: To provide a computer or other machine with coded instructions for the automatic performance of a particular task.
REFLECTION
Throughout the project I think me and my teammate did really good. we made an awesome song and light show. For the peaks its the fact that we all worked really well together and got along. For the pits its the fact that my partner also wouldn't put in enough effort. if I asked them to do a simple task it would take 10 minutes instead of 2 minutes because they would go on their phone. Although this was a set back we trudged along and finished just in time for ours to sound beautiful.
