Love-O-Meter
This project required me to determine which resistors could replace 220 ohm resistors as my starter kit did not come with them. I ended up using the 1K resistors.
Keyboard Instrument
This was another successful project. I did run into one issue when completing the keyboard. My second button down would not make any sound. I figured out that I was using a 560 resistor rather than the 220 it asked for. My Arduino kit did not come with any of the 220 resistors as shown in the book so I replaced it with a 1K resistor as I had to look this up and do this for previous projects. Once I made this change all of my buttons work and appear to make slightly different sounds. Take a look/listen!
Light Theremin
I was super happy with how well the light theremin project went. I wired it up by following the picture provided and luckily it worked first try! I used the pre-written code under the examples tab in Arduino. I thought this was a really neat project. Take a look/listen!
Spaceship Interface
Completing this project was a real learning curve for me. I struggled with finding the correct resistors as the ones in the book do not match the ones I have. I had to google different resistors I could use to find the answer. Next, I typed in the entire code without realizing you could select pre-typed ones. Once I selected the pre-typed code I still couldn’t get it to work until I asked a classmate who reminded me you have to push the upload button! Finally, I have a working project!!
