Weekly Narrative
Here is where I began my exploration into the endless opportunities of the Arduino. Coming into this course I hadn't the slightest clue about what an Arduino was or how powerful it could actually be. As soon as I was given the chance I checked one out and dove into learning all of it's ins-and-outs. My first stop was Lady Ada. This was such a useful website for any first time users with Arduino, such as myself. This site is extremely user-friendly and offers tutorials ranging from "getting your Arduino to turn on" to having multiple LED's blink while in a circuit. In my first week of possessing the Arduino I ran through every tutorial that Lady Ada had to offer. I learned how to connect multiple LED's to a breadboard while simultaneously making each blink. After hearing that one our groups projects was to create a bicycle turn signal, I was very pleased to have honed in on my Arduino skills.
