Arduino Adventure

Students worked with Arduinos for the first time this past week.  Very few had any experience with building circuits.  They got LEDs to blink and fade over a few seconds.  They also used a force sensor to cause the LED to light and actuator to work.  Below are a few pictures of their Arduino adventures.


Force sensor (far left with the circle), green LED and actuator (held between the fingers) connected to an Arduino (green board on the right).
It's fun and exciting connecting the actuator to the Arduino.

Until the wire breaks!  Not to worry, nothing serious.  They got  it to  work!
