This caught my eye straight away because of the different colours. It seems simple yet effective-eye catching yet affordable

I couldn't understand much of how this was made because it was in German or something-but I like the idea of coding your own guitar hero and bringing it to life

This reminded me of an assembly we did in year seven or eight- programming mini games and coding different buttons for different purposes ]]> 2017-12-05 20:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213505985 Lucy Searro 9HJA https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213508321 Arduino: Used to program the LED lights so they flash in the pattern of clock numbers
Interesting: The way that they have used the LED lights in a different way compared to just normal ideas

Intresting: They used lights to reflect colors that would show up on a table however even though the Arduino board was a small part it still was at the heart of the experiment]]> 2017-12-05 21:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213510003 Lucy Searro 9HJA https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213511465 Arduino: Used to program, LED lights to tell the time on a clock without using numbers
Intresting: it not only was a clever way top use the Arduino board but also was a different concept on telling the time]]> 2017-12-05 21:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213511465 Abi Tang 9ELH https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213599480 My first favourite project is: ]]> 2017-12-06 08:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/213599480 Abi Tang 9ELH https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214077612 http://www.instructables.com/id/Christmas-Tree-Money-Origami/
I found this project interesting as it was very humorous because it is a very unrelistic project however it is very funny. This is because nobody would spend their time to make this out of a note when they could buy a mini Christmas tree for cheaper than that. Also because the author of the post could have made it out of paper but chose to do it with money intead which make it much funnier for the readers. ]]> 2017-12-07 12:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214077612 Abi Tang 9ELH https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214081056 2017-12-07 13:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214081056 James Taylor 9HJA Post 1 - https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214801861 Arduino Thermometer!

This is one of the most simple Arduino projects to create yet it is seemingly effective and advantageous, when waking up to check how hot it is! (Especially for people living in hot places such as America). It includes very few items, which are mostly very cheap, or found around the house, reasonable simple wiring and quite self-explanatory code (you could even just copy it), making it easy to recreate. You can use LM35 sensors to actually read the temperature which will be displayed on the LCD. Finally, to make a nice, clean look get some plastic Tupperware (very easy to acquire) measure the display LCD and cut a rectangle out, fitting the device inside. This is really interesting because it looks very professional for such a small amount of resources and conveys how much can be done just using an arduino board with a few spare parts.

This creation is not described in too much detail on instructables but from what I can make out the 'fiddle stick' has a mouse scroller embedded inside, sticking out which helps the stick move along the violin. There are three buttons where fingers are which can be pressed to produce a different sound wen the stick is moved over the Arduino board, which is placed below where the stick would be rolling. Then passing the signals through a program you can produce sounds! It is made from wood (shaped by a laser cutter) so it is very eco-friendly. I like this because is shows that with enough effort, very simple technology help ordinary people create instruments on a home made scale and it is also quite imaginative and in the way the mouse scroll wheel is used.

This just generally looks really cool and sets a relaxing atmosphere. It is basically a box of wood with a stand inside to hold the Arduino board with the very powerful RBG LED and wiring inside. You can also cut an area to hold your phone perhaps while working. Then you can cut a used milk jug in half and place on top of the gap in the top of the wood, so the light can shine through, to make the milk jug glow, creating a nice mood. It's really just a very cheap Lava Lamp! :-)  ]]> 2017-12-10 15:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/214809240 Theo Wride - 9ELH -http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Parking-Assistant/ https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215226980 This system really interested me as parking assistants are typically expensive optional extras on cars these days, therefore there is no cheap solution to avoiding a scratch on your car when you park. The design is housed on wood and is comprised of cheap and easy-to-source materials (e.g. sensors, LED lights etc). When the vehicle is reversing, the lights (in a circle) light up the closer you get to the wall it is housed on, making sure you park in the right spot every time.]]> 2017-12-11 21:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215226980 Theo Wride - 9ELH - http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Trumpet/ https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215232071 This pocket size, shrunk down trumpet is a very cool idea. It uses the same concept of a trumpet (3 valves) and plays the notes as you press them down to create a tune. The materials are easy to find and are very cheap. This simple and easy idea is perfect if you don't to carry around the whole instrument and you can show off this to your friends who will be amazed at your musical talent, hopefully!]]> 2017-12-11 21:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215232071 Theo Wride - 9ELH - http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-controlled-Fox-Away/ https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215233621 This device uses sensors to detect a fox foraging around your house. When the sensor detects movement, an arm moves left to right very quickly and a light flashes to scare away the unwanted creature. It works with any animals: birds, dogs, cats, squirrels. This simple and ingenious device saves any damage which the animals could inflict on your property.]]> 2017-12-11 21:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215233621 Harry Wheatley https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/215378606 1.http://www.instructables.com/id/turn-signal-biking-jacket/

I find this project very effective because there are approximately  430 deaths per year in the US from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. if we can reduce this horrific statistic to at least a lower amount, it would save us so much grief and loss in the world. Our society is already tearing us apart and if a small little gadget like this can help; we are living in a more eco-friendly environment.

I like this project as, in the future, technology similar to this could help disabled people communicate.
2.http://www.instructables.com/id/Tweet-a-watt-How-to-make-a-twittering-power-mete/
This project reminds the user of how much electricity they use via twitter. This, in theory, could remind the user to use less electricity thus helping t he environment.

The speedometer could be attached to not just a skateboard but instead to a variety of transport devices, helping cyclists and skateboarders alike.]]> 2018-02-01 07:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/c_wilde2/2nqy0tais602/wish/226918359
