This Love

Step 1: Materials
  • Arduino Uno
  • Breadboard
  • Jumper wires
  • LED lights
  • RGB light
  • Button / Switch
  • 220 resistors
Step 2: Physical Building
  • I started by connecting the breadboard to power and ground
  • Then I inserted the LEDs and connected them accordingly - along with resistors
  • Next I did the same for the RGB light.
  •  Finally I wired in the switch.
Step 3: Code

I forgot to save my code for this one so it is lost. Basically what this program did was play the first few beats of the song "This Love" by Maroon 5. I got this idea from a quick project we did in class one day but in order to make it my own I made is longer and different patterns.

Reflection
My goal for this project was to create a simple yet enjoyable program that combined two things I love Maroon 5 and programming. I really enjoyed perfecting the beats "played" by the lights. Looking back I wish I had programmed it to make sound as well, but this was just as challenging and fun without that.
