Concept:
When I was sitting on my desk thinking of ideas for this assignment, the first thing that came to mind was a book I saw right in front of me (which I’m relying on the most lately for my another class).
Then, I realized I actually don’t have a bookmark and every time I’m reading a book, I just write the page on my phone. So I decided to create kind of a “bookmark” that turn on the LED every time I close the book.
Materials:
- 1 green LED light
- 1 330 ohm resistor
- A breadboard
- An Arduino board with the 5V and Ground outputs
- 1 red, 1 black, and 1 blue jumper wires
- USB cable
- Tape
- My book
Demonstration:
Process:
The process of this circuit is really simple. Basically, I connected two jumper wires in the 5 V and Ground outputs of the Arduino. However, instead of connecting the 5 V directly into the breadboard, I pasted in one of the pages of the book. Then I used another jumper wire to do the connection between the resistor and the 5 V output.

Reflection:
I’m really satisfied with the outcome of the assignment, especially because I think experimenting is one of the best ways to learn Arduino. So, I’m getting more familiar with the logic and the process itself. When it comes to areas of improvement, I intend to explore more other materials, as well as other ways of connecting the circuit.
