PROJECT: UNUSUAL SWITCH
For this unusual switch project, I conceptualized a system where clicking or snapping my fingers would activate an LED light. This idea explores novel ways of interacting with electronic devices using natural gestures.
Components Used:
Arduino board: Used to control the circuit and process inputs
LED: The light source activated by the finger snap
Resistor (330 ohm): To limit current flow and protect the LED
Jumper wires: For making connections between components
Copper tape: Used as a sensor to detect the finger snap without a traditional button
REFLECTION:
- Importance of resistors: I initially forgot to add a resistor, which resulted in the LED burning out. This made me understand the critical role of resistors in protecting sensitive components.
