Project 4 - Demonstrating_a_Digital_Input

The goal of this project was when the button was pressed, it would turn on the LED for half of a second. the picture below shows me pressing the button to turn on the LED. The code and the wiring used to run this progam were relatively simple.

Project 5 - Controlling_traffic

Our goal is to install three-color traffic lights at each end of the single-land bridge. The lights allow traffic to flow only in one direction at a time. when sensors located at either end of the bridge detect a car waiting at a red light, the lights will change and allow the traffic to flow in the opposite direction. This code repeated alot of the same pieces of code many times, such as the sequence to change to the opposite side of the intersection. The wiring was complicated, and figuring out which way to put the buttons was a little tricky.

Project 7 - Trying_out_a_Piezo_Resistor

The purpose of this project was to create a circuit in which a piezo (buzzer) would buzz for half a second, then turn off for another half second. This code looks relatively simple, but it operates wiring which took little bit of work to get done, like the Controlling_traffic project.

Project 8 - Creating_a_quickread_ thermometer

This project was a fun project. It alternated between two light colors based on temperature. It is mostely on the red light because the temperature around here is usually higher than 75 degrees, the cold to hot boundary. If the temperature was less than or equal to 75, the light was green. If it was more than or equal to, it red. The best way to make the temperature lower than 75 degrees is to an ice cube to the temperature sensor.
