Two Buttons with two LEDs

Codes for Two Buttons

int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED
int redPin = 12;
int inputPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for a pushbutton)
int whitePin = 3;
int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status
int val2 = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output
pinMode(inputPin, INPUT); // declare pushbutton as input
//for green pin
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output
pinMode(whitePin, INPUT); // declare pushbutton as input
}

void loop(){
val = digitalRead(inputPin); // read input value
if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED OFF
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED ON
}
//for red pin
val2 = digitalRead(whitePin); // read input value
if (val2 == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH
digitalWrite(redPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF
} else {
digitalWrite(redPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
}
}

Button/Switch

Codes for Button

AnalogInput

AnalogInput Codes

int potPin = 2; // select the input pin for the potentiometer
int ledPin = 13; // select the pin for the LED
int val = 0; // variable to store the value coming from the sensor

void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare the ledPin as an OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
val = analogRead(potPin); // read the value from the sensor
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn the ledPin on
delay(val); // stop the program for some time
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn the ledPin off
delay(val); // stop the program for some time
}

Blinking LED

Codes for Blink

int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup() // run once, when the sketch starts
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}

void loop() // run over and over again
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}

What is Arduino?

According to www.arduino.cc/ Arduino is an open- source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino is a simple physical computing platform based on input/output board.

Arduino can be connected to software’s like Macromedia flash, Pure Data, Processing, Supercollider on your computer. The programming language used for Arduino is C/C++.Arduino software is an integrated development environment cross platform Java application which acts as a code editor and is also able of transferring firmware successively to the board.

I bought an Arduino for myself which can with a breadboard and an LED. Downloaded the arduino software 10 on personal pc and went through the basic examples. Exercise example such as the Blink and Digital Potentiometer.

I went to the Listening Post Exhibition in Science Museum on 19 Feb 08 and took pictures as a part of my research. Listening Post is work of Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin based on online communication. Artist Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin have divided their work into seven separate scenes similar to movements in a masterpiece. Each scene with its own internal logic sifting, filtering and ordering the text remains in its own different ways.

Listening Post is an amazing investigation into the character of online communication and the meaning and malleability (flexibility) of data. The masterpiece is a Dynamic Portrait of electronics and contemporary art.
