Week 2 Blog Post - Challenge Build Two

The Challenge Build Two - Potentiometer

Explanation of the Project

During week two, we were challenged with a more complicated Arduino activity. This activity was for us to learn how to use a potentiometer with our Arduino circuit board. The potentiometer for this activity allows the potentiometer to change the brightness of the red led. The red led gets brighter when the potentiometer knob is turned to the right, and the red led gets dimmer when the knob of the potentiometer is turned to the left.

Video explaining the project and how it works

In the video/text, explain how you started with the initial challenge and what your thinking was as you worked through the challenge project where the code and or the circuit was modified.

Final Reflection

Looking at what you learned through the project, the process you took to make it work, or if it is not working, what the next steps would be to further debug the project.
