Phys Comp Week 1

Although I have been building the Labs every week, this is the first time I have tried to make something a little different in the "Be Creative" instruction. It sounds good until you see that I was not too successful.

I Used the Arduino to make a program (listed Below) that would have "thresholds" built in so that a light would turn on as the Pot reached 200, a second light would turn on at 500, and so on. I was successful making these lights turn on at the right time, but not at a very bright level. (Something to so with changing analog output to digital output made the lights very dim when they lit.) I would deem it a partial success.

below is the code I used and the images of the setup, even the housing that I created for a makeshift "LoveOmeter." And I promise to be more diligent about journal and progress entries in the future...
