Sensing the Future

This week the classroom became a creative playground while we learned about smart systems and sensors. Imagine a world in which electronic components change the structure of signals, and the limitless possibilities sparked my mind. Hold on, creativity always comes with a warning, "DO NOT PLUG IN AN OUTPUT BEFORE THE RESISTOR!" is something I will never forget. Lesson learned: when it comes to circuits, careful attention to detail is essential.

And now for the major event: the LED. The light-emitting diode, despite its small size, was the main attraction. It was attached to a precisely connected circuit on the breadboard. the magic happens when you run the code on the Arduino, which served as our conductor, and the LED begins to light up in a symphony of patterns.

However, the journey didn't end there. Let me introduce you to the potentiometer, a small but mighty knob that controlled brightness. By twisting it, I was able to control a range of luminance. The potentiometer controlled the LED, allowing it to shine brightly or dimly depending on my preferences.

Then, with the addition of Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs), the story becomes even more interesting. These sensors reacting to how much light would be shone on eat could be related to the eyes of the system. Our circuits seemed to have the ability to sense and adjust to their environment.

Stay tuned for additional exploration stories as I explore the circuits and algorithms that define our modern technology world! 💡🏧
