Arduino Workshop

The Arduino project is based on microcontroller board designs. It is an open-source project that created for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control physical devices. 

We downloaded the Uno which is one of the most popular boards in the Arduino family. As the picture showed below, those ten lines of code are all we need to blink the LED on the Arduino. I've changed the blink frequencies by adjusting the delay from 1000 to 100.  This is to reduce the LED blinks. 

Afterward, we settled up the program and then we started to learn the different varieties of Arduino board that I attempted to connect the pins. It was really frustration and disheartened for me because I had no idea about electronic things.

This magic technology has combined the art and science to created a wonderful world for viewers. 

Future with bright light

As lecturer shared on the Facebook group, I found it is very interesting. In the video, a pen can transmit electricity with its silver ink. According to my research that this technique are made by a Japanese infrastructure company named Kandenko. they used a tiny 3D miniature paper town comes to life as the pen simultaneously conducts electricity as a person draws lines.

Throughout this lecture, I've learned some basic fundamental electronics and a decent understanding of Arduino.
