Arduino is a program used to create code so a circuit board can read and then carry out the command. This was a very good part of the class because it gave us hands on tasks and we can watch the lights or sounds work as we create and modify the code. This was one of my favorite part of the class because it was fun working with something that i use on a day to day basis through my phone and on my computer.
Finch Robots
The finch's were the most fun thing we did in the class, mainly because we were working with actual robots. We began with just making the robots move forward and backwards as we pressed a button. Later we assigned keys to control the robots and make them do whatever we wanted them to do. With this we began robot wars, this was a really fun thing to do because we had to try and push off other robots from the arena making the experience even more fun.
