Sensor Project

My Sensor Project

For this project I used my Arduino UNO to create a simple device that reads and records light and temperature levels from two sensors. These values are saved and displayed on an LCD Screen. Overall this project was quite simple, though I had hoped to make something more advanced. One of the problems I had was that I didn't have the right parts to build what I originally had on mind, and this is something that i need to work on in the earlier stages of any projects I take on in the future. Other than this I only had small issues with old hardware that no longer worked, but was easily fixed by replacing it with new pieces.

LED Project

My LED Project

The device i made for my LED project uses two sensors; one to read light levels and the other to read temperature. The Arduino will display these values by using a series of LED's, and a push button can be used to switch between either the light sensor, or the heat sensor. Overall this was a fairly simple project, the biggest obstacles to overcome were:

•  Finding room to fit all ten LED's, two sensors and a push button on one breadboard
• Figuring out how to 'debounce' the button so that it could be used as a switch
