Multi Switch: Turn on the Lights
For this multi switch I decided to create an interactive logic game. The main goal is to find a way to have all the lights turned on at the same time. Each button has a set of conditionals that turn some of the LEDs on or off. The 3 LEDs receive their power from the Arduino, which also receives the input from the buttons when they are pressed. Through exploration or logic, the user can find a way to solve the puzzle while pressing the buttons in a specific order. This game can be expanded with many more lights, making it even harder to solve each time.
RGB LED Mapping: Color Selector
For this mapping exercise I decided to create an interactive color selector. Ideally the main goal is for the user to manipulate the first LED’s colors through the controllers and match the second LED’s color. Each of the controllers change the value of a single pin on the first LED. The potentiometer controls the red pin, the joystick controls the green pin, and the water sensor controls the blue pin. In addition to controlling colors, the joystick has a button that changes the second LED’s RGB values with random numbers within the color range (0-255). It also outputs a beep through the buzzer each time it is reset.
Expressive Motion: Random Emotions
For this servo motor project, I made an emotion generator that randomly selects an emotion to display along with its corresponding LED color and sound. It’s based on the wide range of emotions we feel on a day to day basis and how these can change quickly depending on random factors.
