For our 2nd assignment for “Sociable Objects”, Stella and I partnered together to glow leds wirelessly using potentiometers. We followed the schematic in Chapter 9 of “Making Things Talk” and also uploaded the code to our Arduinos. The only change to the code was that I switched the MY and destination addresses on my code so that when I turned my pot, the led on Stella’s breadboard would light up and when she turned her pot, the led on my board would light up. After Rob pointed out that the RX and TX pins were reversed on one board, the code worked perfectly. Here are some pictures from the assignment.
