Control

This week we explored Arduino microcontrollers!

We started off by learning how to sauter by connecting an LED to a resistor. I’ve always wanted to learn how to sauter and was really interested to find out that the metals we are connecting should be heated rather than heating the lead directly.

Through a series of growingly complicated codes, we were able to experiment with controlling the Arduino’s LEDs through time, touch, and color. I found it really satisfying to be able to alter the code and understand how different components affect the commands.

I’m really interested in the connection between the Arduino and Grasshopper, as Grasshopper seems like a more simplified version of coding. I wonder if they can work together in some way or other.
