WEEK 9: Input Devices

I finally settled on what I'm going to do for my final project and this is going towards it. I made a temperature sensor that will turn on when a button is pressed and turn off when the button is pressed again. The circuits I use in the final project will definitely be more complex but this is a start and I figure I can always connect several if needed.


This week I did not do great with time because I had a huge exam in my quantum mechanics class on Tuesday so I completed most (all) of this project in the morning. Here is a video of the experience. (*side note: my phone camera app is broken making it so that I can only take photos and video in snapchat. However, snapchat video is kind of the way to go because they are already in mp4 format, often times already a managable size, and also you can comment on them)



Milling this week was a noticably different experience to milling in the past because of where I was/am in stages of concussion recovery. This week I was able to turn on as many lights as I wanted while in previous weeks I was definitely very conscious of keeping the miling room as dark as allowable in previous weeks. So here is a photo of me milling in the light

Look at me milling with the lights on

And here is my final circuit board

convenient mess ups

I have yet to actually put the code and the circuit together because of timing issues. But it does have to get done because final projects are coming up fast
