Arduino Lab 5: Bouncy Ball

Name: __________________________ Signature _____________________________ Learning objective: In this part !e !ill learn ho! to communicate bet!een t!o programs "one running on the Arduino and one on your laptop#$

1. Download and install the programming language Processing "%0 pts#

2. *o+e a ball !ith a photoresistor " 30 pts#

Load ,)amples - Libraries - Serial - SerialCall.esponse Hardware: construct the light sensor circuit described in lab / Software: 0he bottom portion o( the code "commented out# is (or the Arduino$ Copy it to a ne! Arduino code !indo!$ 1or no! you !ill not need to alter the 2rocessing Code but you !ill need to edit the Arduino code$ 0he current code assumes three sensors but so (ar you only ha+e 3$ 0he current code Serial$prints those three +alues$ 4ou need to change the code so that you do only one analog.ead and output constants as the other t!o +alues$ 1or e)ample I used (irstSensor as my photoresistor analog.ead and set secondSensor as 300 and the third as %00$ Compile and upload the Arduino code and then run the 2rocessing code$ 4ou should be able to control the ball using the photosensor$ Signed o((: _____________________________________ 3$ "%5 pts# Add a potentiometer to the hard!are and change the so(t!are so you can control the ) and y o( the ball$ Signed o((: _____________________________________ /$ "%/ pts# Add a button to the hard!are and ha+e it do something interesting$ 1or e)ample change the si6e or color o( the ball$ Instructor sign o((: _____________________________________
