Concept:
Making a switch with Arduino that lights up a LED when you step on it was an efficient and convenient solution for waking up in the morning. I chose to create this project because I wanted to make something that was easily accessible and user-friendly. The switch was designed to be placed next to the bed, so that when you wake up in the morning, all you have to do is step on it to turn on the LED and start your day.
Reflections and improvements:
Reflecting on the experience of making a switch with Arduino, I found it to be both a difficult and a fun process. Initially, it was challenging for me to come up with an idea for the project. I wanted to create something that was useful and interesting, but I struggled to come up with a specific concept. Eventually, I decided to make a switch that would light up a LED when you step on it, and I found this idea to be both simple and useful. Once I had settled on an idea for the project, the process of creating the switch was enjoyable and rewarding. I enjoyed learning about Arduino and how to use it to create a simple circuit. I also enjoyed writing the program to make the LED light up when the piezo sensor was triggered. This required me to learn some basic programming concepts, such as functions and conditional statements, and I found this to be a challenging but rewarding experience.
