Week1 Narrative: 09/09/2013-09/15/2013

Team (Me, Brian, Sergey, & Fredrick) assignment: create a tutorial that details the use of Arduino (model Uno) to teach class. Went to http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink and learned about basic Arduino program"Sketch". Setup first program _9sec_Blink.ino (modefied version off tutorial lesson):

 void setup () {
 pinMode (13, 1);
 }
 void loop () {
 digitalWrite (13, 1);
 delay (9000);
 digitalWrite (13, 0);
 delay (9000);
 }

This allowed LED to blink 9seconds and turn off for 9 seconds before repeating. Next set up Blink_ser2.ino:

 int downline1 = 13;
 int downline2 = 12;
 int downline3 = 11;
 int downline4 = 10;
 int downline5 = 9;
 int downline6 = 8;
 int downline7 = 7;
 int downline8 = 6;
 void setup () {
 pinMode(downline1, OUTPUT);  
 pinMode(downline2, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline3, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline4, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline5, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline6, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline7, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(downline8, OUTPUT);
 }
 void loop() { 
 digitalWrite(downline1, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline1, LOW);    
 delay(5);  
 digitalWrite(downline8, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline8, LOW);
 delay(5);
 digitalWrite(downline2, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline2, LOW);   
 delay(5);               
 digitalWrite(downline7, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline7, LOW);
 delay(5); 
  digitalWrite(downline3, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline3, LOW);    
 delay(5);  
 digitalWrite(downline6, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline6, LOW);
 delay(5);
 digitalWrite(downline4, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline4, LOW);   
 delay(5);               
 digitalWrite(downline5, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline5, LOW);
 delay(5);
 digitalWrite(downline4, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline4, LOW);    
 delay(5);  
 digitalWrite(downline5, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline5, LOW);
 delay(5);
 digitalWrite(downline3, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline3, LOW);   
 delay(5);               
 digitalWrite(downline6, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline6, LOW);
 delay(5); 
 digitalWrite(downline2, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline2, LOW);    
 delay(5);  
 digitalWrite(downline7, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline7, LOW);
 delay(5);
 digitalWrite(downline1, HIGH);   
 delay(30);               
 digitalWrite(downline1, LOW);   
 delay(5);               
 digitalWrite(downline8, HIGH);
 delay(30);
 digitalWrite(downline8, LOW);
 delay(5); 
 }

this allowed form multiple lights to be manipulated to look like a converging and diverging line. The small delay creates the illusion of the lights next to each other being on simlutaneoulsy for a few seconds creating a more fluid image created presentation for class to present findings.
