Week 012: Interface and Application Programming

                                                                                    

             This week I decided to make an interface that displace a range of color. This is what I want to do for my final project. When the wheels are all cleaned I want to give out a range of color to indicate the completness. I don't know how to detect the completion of the job which is to clean the wheels, but I think this interface will definitely help me to reach a step further to the final project.

                                                                                    

                                                                                    

            I used arduino code, and modified a little bit to count the upto 100 times. Each time would consist of one second. When it gets to 100, it would reset. I sent the number thorugh the serial port and I wrote a code to read the value and change the color accordingly.

                                                                                    

                                                                                    

            The coding part was especially difficult. I had to look it up on internet a lot. I got most of the help from Rob. He's always a resource that I can count on him

I sped it up a little bit since it took literally a second to change color. It took me ages to look at all the colors change! IT was fun!!
