Project #1:
Task: Customize the variables in lesson 3(controlling 3 blinking LED's) to make your lamp do something different and make a paper shade that is 'more interesting' than the cube shown in the example.
Results: The Arduino Controlls the 3 LED's via pwm(Pulse Width Modulation), Allowing a fade-in and fade-out for each color. This made the color gradients much more dramatic than simple blinking to combine the light required for secondary and tertiary colors. The program begins with red, moves to green then blue, creating multitudes of yellows, purples, teals and everything in-between.
The paper shade is a Lotus flower constructed of 12 separate pieces of paper and tied in the center.
