Weekend Projects – Hot/Cold LEDs
Complete instructions for this episode of Weekend Projects can be found at http://makeprojects.com/Project/Hot-Cold-LED/2445/1
Combine an Arduino, an ultransonic distance sensor, and some common components to build a classic “hot/cold” project. Once assembled, we’ll walk through the software “sketch” loaded onto our Arduino, and experiment with three variations of the “hot/cold” theme, all the while using the same circuit.
