I am still struggling with adding characteristics to my functions. I cant seem to get the code to perform certain actions within the function without jeopardizing the entire functionality of the segment.

However, I am proud of the way my box cam out. Its a simple, clean and very effective way of presenting the LED lights. It looks great when lite up in a dark room.

Create an enclosure (of any material) that diffuses and hides your LEDs (and optionally your Arduino).

Using If and Else If, create 3 different LED Animations.  The 3 animations should be Keyboard controlled.  The three animations should show 3 different states:

1) Waking Up, or Alert

2) Falling Asleep, or Soothing

3) Think or Chaos

Use If statements, Knighrider, and Fading LED code to make your 3 animations.  Your enclosure should not expose that LED’s are creating the light, but should instead be itself the light source.  Concentrate on the use of Light, Color, and Time to recreate the illusion of life.

Use Sketch 6-01 from Programming Arduino along with Knighrider and Fading LED code to make your 3 animations.   Recommended enclosure is a plexiglass box with paper to diffuse the light.

2. Why in class?
I want to make stuff. Technology is pretty new to me. I figured, there’s no better way to learn about circuits and arduino stuff then to learn it while having fun. Right? I know this class will be fun!

3. Fave toy:
CLAY

Oh and this little number from Russia. It was all the rage.

(wordpress is not letting me upload any images at the present moment. I will re-visit in a few)

2.) 

3.) I have a B.S. from Georgia Tech in Science,Technology,and Culture.

4. I wanted to be in this class because I need to acquire practical skills that I can apply in the job market. I also would like to learn technical abilities so that I am able make physical objects/pieces.

CLASS?: I am in this class to learn more about wireless communication and make fun things.

FAV TOY: Legos

This toy came with a book. I was able to place a small tape into the bum of the teddy bear and its mouth would move and he would read to me.
