Arduino Starter Kit

willygeek

Well, the Arduino Starter kit I won from  you guys has arrived.
I plan to keep everyone up to date on my progress through the projects in the book accompanying the kit, but progress may be a bit slow as I also plan to use this as a means of introducing my 13 year old granddaughter to electronics and programming.  As she doesn't live with me progress will be dictated by the time she can spend here with me and on her progress.  So this is just a beginning and I will add to this, with photos and video as progress is made along the way.

  • Project 8 Digital Hour Glass;

    Works well, except that I had to solder legs onto the Tilt Switch that came in the kit, so that it would plug into the breadboard.
    luckily I have the kit needed and know how to solder..  See Photo:  You will also note the surgical clamp.  For this sort of work they are invaluable.
    At one timw I woked as an electrician at a hospital, so was able to get these when they were no longer good for actual surgery.  But they can be bought now.

    I also altered the time delay to 60 seconds from the 10 minutes in the original programme.  So the video would not be too long.
