Hello Mrs. Chen,

Exactly how many people are doing arduinos?????????

I’m still pretty angry that FISHER people gave away our box, but me and kelcie are going to ask the dance teachers if we could have their box (this is how I got the idea to check FISHER in the first place). So right now we are still learning about arduinos and trying out different codes to turn on the led lights at different times. I think we got the hang of it already but now we need to work on how were going to construct them on the back of the mural and the “interactive” part. For the interactive part, Doc gave us a little button that we need to hook up to the input part of the arduino board. When someone pushes the button, the lights will go on in any pattern we want. Before we start building this circuit, we need to soder wires on the bottom part so we can insert it into the circuit.

Doc helped us soder the wires with this melter thing. We heated some wire and melted it onto the button. Once we figure out the program, the button will work. We still need to play with it so more elaboration tomorrow!

K bye for now :)
