| Full speed ahead towards pComp Lab02!In this installment we started using a microcontroller… its like a little computer in a black thing. And on this little computer you can run logic. YEAH.So, I decided to made a ’slow switch’ that eases on and off instead of just abruptly turning on and off. If you flip the switch on the LED slowly gets brighter. If you switch it off it slowly gets dimmer… its slow to respond… get it, slow switch?Its funny because, to most people, a dimming LED is simple and boring; and I guess it kinda is, but its the possibilities that make it great. I can now make smart things! |
