10/12 Mini Project Critique

My project is an aspect of my final project. Im exploring code and how the code controls  the analog of the potentiometer. As you turn the potentiometer the less come on corresponding to where the analog is.

  1. your sketch does exactly what it needs to do, when i saw it i thought it could be useful for your game. I think maybe the next step is to have 10 million lights!!!

  2. That's cool how you can turn on different levels of LED lights. I didn't think to use a potentiometer like this. You could make this even more gradual and make a sunset or a circular project to mimic the potentiometer's function.

  3. This is really cool visually, George! I like the idea of using a potentiometer to turn on increments of lights. It works exactly as it should and I'd love to see this combined with something else.

  4. I think this is really cool. i wonder if it relates to your final project at all. I also wonder how you got the leds to be so bright

  5. I like the idea of having a knob control the LED's; however, I'm not sure if you wanted the red LED's to turn on one after another or have them both turn on at the same time as the knob turns -Kayla

  6. Kelsey- I can see this becoming something very beautiful on a much larger scale. I like how it requires the viewer to interact with it and to control what they see. The concept seems relatable to your final project concept, but I don't exactly see how it can be translated as a video game. I notice the LEDs are really bright and that you don't have any resistors. I wonder if you should or not. I like them bright though. :)

  7. Oh neat! Makin' the LEDs turn on according to the position of the potentiometer seems like it might've been a lil difficult to figure out. I'm curious to see how the scale will change with your final project!

  8. Aaron - Yeah, I think this is a great place to start with your mini project building up to the semester project. It is important to start with components that are reliable and learning how they function inside-out. You can do quite a bit by manipulating the code to turn expectations of how something like a potentiometer works on its head.

  9. Dreezy- This is a nice start, good job on getting it to work properly. Next step is to make it bigger and get a nice concept to take it to the next level.

  10. I get that I turn the potentiometer and the light go on in sequence when I turn one way and off when I turn the other way. I wonder why one green light and two red lights. KAterie

  11. Maria - Great way to start the potentiometer. I posted on Facebook a tutorial that might help you.

  12. Great use of a potentiometer. this would be very interesting if made large scale.

  13. think about a few things:Why 3 lights? why is only one green? what are is the meanings do these colors impart to the viewer based on our society? Otherwise, it works well, but is it art?
    good luck, keep going! Erica :)
