My partner and I are brainstorming about projects we could make with a 3D printed design that uses LEDs:

1. Car with light up wheels

2. Light up phone skin

3. Light up sign

4. Spaceship with LED blasters

5. Light up mouse

6. Light up computer skin

7. Light up pencil box

Top 12 table ideas

Today, we completed our robot, and began setting up the software to connect it to the PS3 controller. We used Linux and piborg to set up the software components on the diddyborg, and controllers.

LED it Up

Today in class, we worked on connecting circuits to light up light bulbs. Here are two of the the circuits that we made. I learned the symbols for a battery/power source. I also learned how to create code for Arduino, and connect it to the circuit. I also learned the symbol for a resistor.
