Week 2



We have ordered some lights and after a while figured out how to power them on with transistors we were able to control them through a timer which made them go from red to green to blue.
We began making attempts at controlling the individual output of lights using potentiometer or timers but to our disappointment it turned out that the lights were not addressable individually making any sort of gameplay impossible and so we had to look into buying new ones.
Doing research into how they require to be powered up and weather it would be possible with batteries we looked into how to control high power loads using the low power digital outputs from your Arduino and using transistors, and how we could control individual addresses through pulse width modulation output from the Arduino.
