What is Arduino?
Arduino is a semester long filler project that we did in class. Arduino is a thing where people can learn how to code and use a bread board. The projects we did were to code something in the software to make something work on the bread board. This semester we had 14 projects to do.
Project 1.1: Series Circuit
Project 1.2 Parallel Circuit
Project 2: Spaceship Interface
Project 3: Love-o-Meter
Project 4: Color Mixing Lamp
Project 5: Mood Cue
Project 6: Light Theremin
Project 7: Keyboard Instrument
Project 8: Digital Hourglass
Project 9: Motorized Pinwheel
Project 10: Zoetrope
Project 11: Crystal Ball
Project 12: Knock Lock
Project 13: Touchy-feely Lamp

Conclusion
Arduino for me was very tedious and hard. Even though my hands aren't that big, it was hard for me to use the certain parts and pieces of the bread board. Although, I did learn a lot with using a bread board and coding. Coding was a little bit better because it was easier for me to do and it told me what I did wrong in the software. Not my favorite unit this semester, but it was fun.
