I used an accelerometer and a push button as my two sensors. When the line of code read Serial.println(analogValue, DEC); the number that read on the serial monitor was 489 when my breadboard was not moving, and ranged from 300-700 when … Continue reading →

Here is my serial garbage in Cornflake: I imported the processing serial library and followed the example code and here is the lovely example of my graphed serial data: Woo I’m reading serial input!

Like the servo labs, this was pretty straight forward but fun. Here is the video:

This was fun. I hooked the servo up first with a potentiometer and then the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was more fun to play with, since the potentiometer was limited in speed by how fast I could turn the … Continue reading →

I had no problems setting up the wiring and the code for this lab, although thrown for a loop when I had to tear apart my apartment while looking for my soldering iron for the potentiometer! Here is the LED … Continue reading →
