Melody

Successfully connected the speakers, added a delay() so the for loop wouldn't replay continuously to have a scratchy sound. I added a potentiometer to create a volume control. Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JVhLtyjsg-Li7--lLT7TrRRsZY23A81u/view?usp=sharing

Playing a musical instrument

My first resistor didn't play nor did the other force resistors played different notes. The original code from the lab did not play continuously - with the help of Sean, instead of using for loops, variables + booleans were used instead and the sound was continous. It is a wiring issue > coding issue.

Project 1 Concept(s)

Sing-along game

The speaker will play 3-4 notes (C, A, B, G) and the player will have to repeat what is played. There are 3 levels. If the player loses before the 3 levels, the LED light will turn red, and if all 3 levels are passed, the LED light will turn green. There can be an additional component with a trap door and a "lose" and "win" sound.

Mock Recorder Instrument

Create an instrument with the same fingerings as a recorder. Or an ocarina!

Lab 1: Connect a digital input circuit and a digital output circuit to a microcontroller.

Obstacles: Downloading the Arduino program and pairing it with my Nano 33ioT.

Lab 2: Connect a variable resistor to a microcontroller and read it as an analog input. You’ll be able to read changing conditions from the physical world and convert them to changing variables in a program.

Obstacles: Getting the 2nd LED to pair with the 2nd force sensor.

Getting all my packages and opening up everything to an array of parts I barely even remember ordering was definitely intimidating.

Preparing my breadboard, I realized with the help of others that Arduino + Micro USB cable = DC Power Jack + Regulator. I went through multiple ways to create a successful circuit around the board.

As for the pushbuttons, it came with ease to have the LEDs light up with ALL or one at a time to light up one LED. However, I tried to experiment and try to pair a button with each light, and unfortunately could not figure it out. I tried combining what I've learned however, the first LED would light up no matter what due to my connecting wires finding a way back to the same row as the Red pushbutton.
