User:Asadabbas/Asad Gillani/ENES-100/Project 1: Bicycle turn signal

Week1 Narrative
For my first project for ENES-100 I was asigned with Arien Motaher, Carlos Fernandez, Eldrick Kinmakon,and Kevin Szostak we were tasked with finding out how to make a bicycle turn signal, primarily out of stuff we found lying around.

we went over many categorizes of interest such as

Housing Build Battery Source Control Options after we had some ideas on the board we split up and were tasked with various assignments. i was tasked with getting the arduino working.

Week2 Narrative
on week two i had done i bit of research on the arduano first i actually lookied into what an arduno actually was jut to be able to better understand hat i was working with i wikipedia i found the definition fro an arduno to be "a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible" along with a lot of other useful information

next i looked into how one can program an arduno with little or know knowledge off programming i found many tutorials on how to wite a program including a few on the adruno website itself also i found that there were many programs actually out there already written that i could use for most scenarios

after my researching this week i actually got a started kit to so i could connect a few LEDs on a bread board.

Week3 Narrative
i did a bit of searching an i was able to find a program for a blinking LED

/* Blink Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

This example code is in the public domain. */

// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards. // give it a name: int led = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup { // initialize the digital pin as an output. pinMode(led, OUTPUT); }

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop { digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000);

I used the website ladyada.net where i found a good tutorial on how to connect the actual arduno. to the breadboard.

after i successfully connected the arduno and breadboard i decided that that this set up was too bust so i continued to look for a more simple (in the sense that there would be less wiring) way to get the LED blinking.
