Our Project
For this project we were given the task to make an electronic show using the arduino program and board, and a code that we made. We started out making connections with breadboards and learning about circuits. During this, we learned about resistors and what they do along with other concepts. After learning about circuits and different electrical connections we started using the arduino program on the computer to learn about coding and how to make different outcomes to happen on the breadboard. That led to our final project which was making the robot art show. We ended up making a buzzer that played a song from Mario.
Concepts
Parallel Circuit: A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Current: The flow of electricity in a circuit.
Voltage: The difference in potential energy across a circuit; the push or pull of electricity.
Programming: The action or process of writing computer programs.
Resistance: A force against the current, decreasing it.
Circuit: A circuit is a complete loop of electrical connections connecting one end of the power source to the other.

Reflection
In this project I learned so much. Before this, I had no experience with coding or programing, but after this project I understand some things. During this project me and my partner, Jovais, had some struggles. We both had no experience with programing so we learned along the way. One rough patch is when our breadboard was broken and we didn't know so we were continuously tinkering with the code thinking that was the issue while it could have been the breadboard that was the issue. Another pit that we fell into over the course of the project was when we fried a piece of equipment because we tried measuring the wrong measurement and the equipment fried. Things got better though. Once we went to the website circuits.io, we had a better time because we had a working circuit board and that helped us greatly. Another peak is when we were doing the booklet for arduino. While doing this I found that you can make truly amazing things using these arduino boards and coding. All in all, I thought that this project was amazing and very interesting.
