  SimonBot!!!! 

  I’m so proud of my first d+t prototype! It’s not much but I have learnt a lot through each process. My simonBot makes terrible sound when you loose and also shake it’s head…it’s eyes blink in rhythm along with it’s heart that blinks color leds pattern. Thanks Yury for teaching us awesome trick about…

  Here’s a link

   

  I also want to share my “Flower Flipper.”  I made this for cc lab class with arduino as well.

  My Simon Game’s enclosure broke during the hurricane, and since most stores were closed, I had to improvise 🙂

  People liked the vibration buzzer when they lost!
  It was a really fun project. I really liked soldering the board for the vibration buzzer.

  Jenn Kaye’s Simon-ish Game 

  Voila! Play tested and all.

   

  (and 2 “regular” videos documenting a successful game in and game loss)

  Simon Says 

  Here is my Simon Says game!!

  

   

   

   

  <p><a

  AND THE CODE:::

  //buttons
  const int greenSwitch = 10; //green
  const int blueSwitch = 8;//blue
  const int redSwitch = 4;//red
  const int yellowSwitch = 6;//yellow

  //leds
  const int greenLED = 9;
  const int blueLED = 7;

  const int yellowLED = 5;

  //values
  //const int greenValue=1; // declare values for colors for buttons
  //const int blueValue=2;
  //const int redValue=3;
  //const int yellowValue=4;

  const int redValue = 1; // declare values for colors for buttons
  const int yellowValue = 2;

  analogRead & analogWrite Assignment for next class 

  Do:

  1)  http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/AnalogReadSerial  [POT]

  2) Photocells – Adafruit Learning System

  3)  2.16 from Arduino CookBook (on Switch Statements)

  Read:

  1) analogRead  http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogRead

  2) http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogWrite

  Assignment:

  Build a Sound Performance Toy.  The Interface should be one POT, one LED, one Speaker, and one Photocell.  There should be four case statements, and two jumper wire.  If jumper wire are in or out, there are 4 possible states.

  *1st State controls LED dim level with the POT, and Speaker with the the PhotoCell

  *2nd State controls LED dim level with Photocell, and Speaker Tone with POT

  *3rd State controls LED blink-rate with the POT,  Speaker Tone with POT, and Delay Rate (for both) with PhotoCell

  *4rd State controls LED blink-rate with the PhotoCell, and Speaker tone with PhotoCell.

  Use with Case Statements to switch between 4 states.

  Upload Code and Video of Circuit before Class.

  Use Code and Pics for Hints: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B5C5Fh-HOLYFenF2UmthZWJ1QVk/edit

  My Arduino Simon 

  
  I used some soft materials to wrap and form my Simon. Inside the white fabrics are two pieces of wooden oil paint canvases that contain my Arduino board, speaker, vibration motor, LEDs, and battery.
  My circuit broke when I was about to do user testing today. I will schedule another time to test and document it.

  User test:
