Task 1:
make something that uses only one sensor on arduino and makes the ellipse in p5 move on the horizontal axis, in the middle of the screen, and nothing on arduino is controlled by p5
The code provided in the lecture notes for both Arduino and P5.js was used as-is, except for the draw function in P5.js. We modified the code to make the ellipse’s horizontal location change when the potentiometer was turned, and the vertical location change when the LDR input was changed. To prevent multiple visual responses from P5.js when the potentiometer and LDR were manipulated, we removed the background and fill functions.

Task 2:
make something that controls the LED brightness from p5
We made some changes to both the Arduino and P5.js code for this task. To adjust the brightness of the LED, we utilized the keyboard’s Up and Down arrows as the input for the P5.js code. This changing value was then sent to the LED connected to PWM pin 5. We used analog write to this pin, which increased or decreased the LED value. If the value exceeded 255, it reset to 0 and vice versa.

Task 3:
take the gravity wind example and make it so every time the ball bounces one led lights up and then turns off, and you can control the wind from one analog sensor
To complete the exercise, we made changes only to the P5.js code by incorporating the gravity wind example. The original Arduino code from the lecture notes remained unchanged. We divided the range of the potentiometer into three intervals, which set the wind vector to -1, 0, and 1 depending on its direction. These values are acceptable for the wind. We also implemented a collision detection flag. When a collision occurs, the LED on pin 2 is turned on. Whenever there is no collision, the LED is turned off.
