Formal Summary of ProjectFor my final project in Object, I built a lamp thats main purpose is to wake someone up. Instead of a standard audio alarm, this is intended to simulate the sun rising, but can be programmed to wake you up at a specific time. The purpose is to make waking up not…

What did I accomplish this week? Began working with the neopixel and got half of it to light up Figured out the battery for the real time clock was not there and switched the battery from the remote into the real time clock What do I need to have done to have a MVP (minimal…

What did I accomplish this week? I fully gutted my lamp, now it’s just the shell. I made sure the arduino and accompanying wires will fit in the base of the lamp. I received the items I had ordered in the mail, and found good documentation on the LCD on canvas. Started to consider a…

What did I accomplish this week? I took apart my lamp. I figured out what to get for the project, including getting a RTC, which I had not planned for previously. I ordered my parts, so they will get here with enough time for me to work for a while. I started to look into…

What did I accomplish this week? I accomplished getting feedback on my idea. I think I will add a noise element, but it will be gentle at first and then louder as the light gets brighter. I took my lamp that I already had apart and determined what I needed to get in order for…

For Assignment 6 we needed to connect Arduino and Processing both from Arduino to Processing and vice versa. All code is below. https://github.com/brummond/assignment6 Part 1: For Part 1 we needed to connect the processing button ability to the arduino’s passive buzzer. My goal was to get it to play “Play That Funky Music” but everything…

Our first task was to create a button with a transistor that turned on and off when we pressed the button. I wanted to figure out the latching button but was unable to. I did not use any code, given that the motor was run off of the power of the computer and did not…

Part 1: At each test point the values are 1023, 614, 409, 204. The analog to digital converter on an Arduino is 10 bits, the highest acceptable voltage is 5V, so to register the analog voltage as a digital value, it assigns it a value between 0 and 1023. Ohm’s law is V= I*R, and…

For Assignment 3 we had four different tasks, each a combination of code and hardware. In this post I will begin with an explanation, show my code, and then link to the video. Part 1: We were tasked with adding a second LED and make them flash like a railroad crossing. I did this using…

This assignment was a bit harder, and I definitely wanted to do more than I ended up accomplishing. However, I did get the mouse clicks to store after clicking and hitting a key, and then after that a different code would load it in and then show where you clicked. I was hoping to get…
