Drawing with Drones

 1) The project was made using mini drones with paint sponges attached. An algorithm is set to allow for larger and smaller dots.

2) From the video, one would assume less than a dozen people contributed to the project.

3) This could have been accomplished in a relatively short time (weeks), as the main goal wouldn't be resources, but time spent on the programming.

Assignment 2:
Micro:bit attempt

My first project was successful. My choice in the Micro:bit animation was to make a greeting. When plugged in, you are met with a "hi", Once A is pressed, you're given the scrolling message "Happy New Year! =) ". The B button gives you the Rock and Roll hand horns.

A challenge came when trying to create shapes, as the 5x5 grid doesn't allow for any crazy animation, but I'm confident I'll learn those tricks down the line.

Assignment 3: Circuits and Conditions

Initial thoughts were that that this would be pretty straightforward. As we covered in class, this was binary, so there were just two values - on and off.

Assignment 4

External Buttons& Speaker

My two button setup was goofy.I fixed my MicroBit so that when the green button is pressed, it displays a smile and happy birthday music. When the red button is pressed, a skull is displayed and funeral music comes from the speaker.

#5 Sound Systems

Assignment 5

The sound system was not too difficult to learn. I linked it to the photocell to change pitch with light, while the LED flashed in unison.

Assignment 6

Midterm Project Idea

My midterm idea is to create a sound based game, similar to Bop-It and the reflex based genre. To stare, the speaker connected to the MicroBit will play a predetermined sound, and the user will be given 10 seconds to match that noise. Every two rounds, the time will go down by one second. The goal is to see how far one can succeed in matching the sounds.

I'm considering adding bonus points based on how quickly a person can match the sound.
