Outcome

Intention&Outcome

In this lab, we built circuit for LED and programed to let LED blink in different ways. We also connected it with cloud to control LED remotely.

Exercise 1.1: the LED can blink and off every 3 seconds.

Exercise 1.2: the LED blink on and off 5 times then stop for 3 seconds. Each blink is 0.5s.

Exercise 1.3: Two LEDs alternatively blinks.

Exercise 2.1: call the cloud function to trigger the LED blink 3 times.

Exercise 2.2: pass the number of times to blink remotely and control the LED to blink that number of times

Exercise 2.3: control two LEDs separately and can let them blink a different number of times.

Process

I didn't meet too many problems this time. There was one time that the LED didn't respond after flashing the code. It was because I wrongly passed the led pin.

Reflection & Next Steps

In this project, I got familiar with LED and Arduino, I also learned how to build simple circuit and how to control LED through cloud functions.
In the future, I can build more complex circuit and use cloud functions to implement more fancy functions.

// 1.1 Modify the program to Blink on and off every 3 seconds.

int ledPin = D3;

void setup() {
  // We want to tell the Argon that we'll use
  // D3 as an output pin.
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // First... On
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // Turn ON the LED pins
  delay(3000);               

  // Now... Off
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);   // Turn OFF the LED pins
  delay(3000);
