Overview of Arduino: LED, Switch, Potentiometer & Servo Motor

The Breadboard

The Schematics

The LED

• LED has a ( + ) positive lead and a ( – ) negative lead.
• The ( + ) positive lead is longer.
• The ( – ) negative lead is on the flat side of the LED case.
• It will not light up if powered the wrong way.
• Always use a LED with a resistor, otherwise the LED could burn out. This is to limit the amount of current flowing through the LED.

The Resistor

Resistors have three colored stripes and then a gold stripe at one end. Each color has a number:

• Black 0
• Brown 1
• Red 2
• Orange 3
• Yellow 4
• Green 5
• Blue 6
• Purple 7
• Gray 8
• White 9

The first two striped are the first two digits of the value.
Example: red, purple means 2, 7.
Example: brown, black means 1, 0.

The third stripe is the number of zeros that need to come after the first two digits.

Example: red, purple, brown means, 2, 7, 0. So the resistor is 270Ω.
Example: brown, black, orange means 1, 0, 0, 0, 0. So the resistor is 10,000 Ω or 10 kΩ.

Important: Unlike LEDs, resistors do not have a positive and negative lead. They can be connected either way around.

Digital Input & Output

1) Standard Breadboard Setup

2) Blinking single LED

1. Connect (-) negative lead of LED to Ground.
2. Connect (+) positive lead of LED to 220Ω resistor and to digital pin 3 (D3).
3. View code for Blink

3) Controlling single LED with Push Button Switch

1. Connect one lead of switch to +5V.
2. Connect another lead of switch to 10 kΩ resistor and to digital pin 2 (D2).
3. View code for controlling LED with switch

Analog Input and Output

1) Controlling LED with Potentiometer

1. Connect middle lead of potentiometer to analog pin A0
2. Connect left lead of potentiometer to +5V
3. Connect right lead of potentiometer to ground
4. View code dimming LED with potentiometer

Readings

Readings for Week 5 In-Class Discussion

• Menkman, R. (2009) “Glitch Studies Manifesto”
• Randall Packer, Conversation with Jon Cates (2014) Hyperallergic

Questions for Week 5 In-Class Discussion

• How do glitch artists embrace mistakes, errors and accidents?
• How does glitch fight genres, expectations and conventions in art?

Research Critique

Research Critique 2

Looking back at Maria Chatzichristodoulo’s Cyberformance & Randall Packer’s The Third Space articles, review the following questions in your research critique 2

• What is the third space to you?
• How do we collapse boundaries in the third space?
• How do we create closeness and intimacy in the third space despite being in different locations?
• How did you virtually touch, hold objects, create a “third” body using different gestures despite being in different locations?
• How did you “connect” and collaborate with one another remotely in this third space?

Write short 250 word essay about your telematic performance and incorporate Maria Chatzichristodoulo’s Cyberformance & Randall Packer’s The Third Space articles into your research critique post, using at least one quote from each article to support your own research and analysis.

You will give a presentation via your OSS post of your research in class during Week 6.

Here are instructions for the research critique:

• Create a new post on your OSS incorporating relevant hyperlinks, images, video, including documentation from your Micro-Project 3: Tele-Drift etc.
• Be sure to reference and quote from the reading to provide context for your critique
• Apply the “Research” category
• Apply appropriate tags
• Add a featured image
• Post a comment on at least one other student research post prior to the following class
• Be sure your post is formatted correctly, is readable, and that all media and quotes are DISCUSSED in the essay, not just used as introductory material.
