SIK Robotics and Arduino
SIK Project #1 Flashing LED: In this project the goal was to make an LED flash at as fast a rate as possible while continuing to be a visible change by adjusting the delay in a pre-provided Arduino project. We achieved this by setting the delay at .017 seconds, which translates to 64 flashes per second.
SIK Project #2 Potentiometer: In this project potentiometer was used to adjust the flash rate of an LED, as you can see here.
SIK Project #3 RGB LED: Here the Red Board was programmed and configured to rotate a RGB LED through a full spectrum of colors.
SIK Project #4 Multiple LEDs: In this program a series of LEDs are activated sequentially.
SIK Project #5 Push Buttons LED: For this project two buttons are used to turn on and off a light, such that if only one is "on" the light will be on, but if both are "off" or both are "on" the light will be off.
SIK Project #6 Photo Resistor: Here the brightness of an LED is connected to the light level reading of a photo resistor.
SIK Project #7 Temperature Sensor: Here a temperature sensor is used to read the temperature and return that reading to the computer monitor. Notice how the reading increases when my hands are placed over the sensor.
SIK Project #8 A Single Servo: In this project the Red Board is used to trigger a servo motor to move.
SIK Project #9 Flex Sensor: Here the motion of the motor is linked to the degree of depression on the flex sensor, as demonstrated here.
SIK Project #10 Soft Potentiometer: Here a Potentiometer is linked to the color of an RGB LED, only in this case it is a Soft Potentiometer, with more variety of interaction available.
SIK Project #11 Piezo Buzzer: here the Red Board is used to play a brief melody using a buzzer system.
SIK Project #12 Spinning a Motor: Here the Red Board is connected to a DC motor which spins at a rate dependent upon the voltage, which is changed from the computer.
SIK Project 13 Relays: Here a Relay is used to alternate power to a red and yellow LED, that is when power goes to one LED the relay turns that one off and turns the other on.
SIK Project 14 Shift Register: For this project a shift register is used to trigger the sequential activation of two lines of LEDs.
SIK Project 15 LCD display: For this project a Liquid Crystal Display has been programmed using Red Board to Display text which is easily editable through Arduino software. For the record, the text is Gaelic.
SIK Project 16 Memory game: In this project the Red Board has been programmed to run a simple Memory Game. Each turn a new light is added to be replicated by the player using the correspondingly colored buttons.
