This is my first-ever physical computing experience. The first step is to get familiar with the elements and tools.
A snapshot of the materials used in the first lab.
Arduino NANO 33
Breadboard
Wires
Voltage Regulator
LED
Resistance
Switch
Multimeter
USB Cable
I used the Arduino Nano 33 to power the breadboard. The other USB side is connected to the computer.
The LED's first light-up moment!
I do not have any background in physical computing before, so the first step to light up the little LED bulb is challenging for me. With the help of peers, I finally get to know about the physical concept behind the system. It reminds me of the physics class in middle school. (I am not good at the class though. Hopefully I can get along with the elements at ITP ^^)
Two LEDs light up together!
I tried to light up two LEDs at the same time, with the price of sacrificing the first little green LED. So excited when the two new bulbs work very well. I also found that the bigger white LED costs more energy to light up, so I cannot make both the small red one and the big white one lighting at the same time.
