Within this lecture we looked at Arduino boards, they are microcontrolers that allow you to sense and control objects while interacting with the digital and physical world. Within lecture we looked at different boards. This allowed us to see how they worked and the different parts that we would need to create full boards. We started with simple boards that would make a light come on. Although simple it was a nice way to start on the software and look at the different parts of code that were needed to program a board.
we then looked at making the boards do more functional things such working with timers and sensors. This was able to highlight the potential of the boards and how they were able to to sense surroundings within the real world. The Arduino software is definitely one that I will consider using as it will allow me to apply my ideas to a physical working digitised object. we were able to create a board that could detect how close something was to it and when something came close a light would go on. Although this was on a small scale you can see how real life application could be applied .
