Today’s session is mucho maker. We’ll do one more activity together; we’ll a photoresistor to our circuit. This will give you each enough basic skills to bust out independently. We’ll try this by each choosing a different sensor from the list below, and using online resources to connect that sensor to our circuit. We’ll prepare to “voltron” our sensors together in Session 3.
- Announcements: Ideas City. Big Data Fest.
- Analog in: photoresistor. Sample Arduino code.
- Digital in: DHTXX temp sensor.
- Pick a sensor from the list below and try to hook it up!
CLASS RESULTS
- Eleanor: Pulse Sensor
- Asresh: Gas Sensor
- Tom: Triple-Axis Accelerometer
