What is your Friday night like?
I was spending mine listening to Simon’s lectures on various Arduino functions. He has been reading his English Arduino booklet and it’s amazing how quickly he stores that extremely challenging … Continue reading What is your Friday night like?
Two more Arduino Starter Kit projects
The Color Mixing Lamp project uses three photoresistors covered with colored film. The voltage is proportional to the ratio of their resistances (they act like light sensors). I had to … Continue reading Two more Arduino Starter Kit projects
Watch Simon invert a ready made Arduino code
Simon got his Arduino Starter Kit last night. He built the first project in the booklet using the code (sketch) provided by the manufacturers. In this video he changes the … Continue reading Watch Simon invert a ready made Arduino code
Arduino Uno!
Simon got his real Arduino tonight and sat down studying it until (way past) bedtime.
switch() case
This is a beautiful example of Simon’s first daring steps to create his own codes with Arduino. He wanted to make the computer (the serial monitor) say “Yes” once the … Continue reading switch() case

Simon spent most of the day coding, with a break to have his Chinese lesson. It turned out that he was composing his one codes. It was very frustrating when … Continue reading Arduino_Tell_The_Fortune. New fun codes composed by Simon.
Simon wrote this code himself.
And it worked! It makes the number bit go up to 99.
He’s writing code!
Trying to write code would be a more accurate way to say it as many sketches don’t work or have errors, but the fact remains: two days ago Simon started … Continue reading He’s writing code!
