Arduino Pre-Lab: Getting Started2/19/2018 Idea 18x8 LED Matrix I would want to use this as a tracker of sorts for something happening in space. I really like space, so I think it would be cool to make a clock-like thing that shows the sun moving across the sky or the phase of the moon, and I think an 8x8 grid would be simple enough for that. Idea 2 LED Matrix Controlled by Android App To me, this is so so cool because the lights in the matrix aren't pre-made. You can make whatever picture you want. The only downside is that I have an iPhone and not an Android, so this tutorial doesn't do much for me. I guess I could still adapt this to be used with a computer rather than through bluetooth. Idea 3Lightning Detector I would make this for a very practical purpose: determining if we should close the pool. Since I work by a body of water, one of our responsibilities is keeping an eye and ear out for thunder and lightning so we can evacuate the pool area for the safety of our patrons. It's not a perfect process, though, as we aren't able to see every strike of lightning. For one, the building blocks our view of the west and the mountains block our view of the east. Also it's possible that neither the lifeguards nor the instructors will see or hear a strike. Something like this could help us detect lightning to keep our customers safe. This project may be too complicated for my level of skill, but it would still be pretty neat to have. Idea 4Twitter Mood Box
If I were to do this project, I would want to skip the Twitter part. It's cool that it analyzes words in tweets to determine the "mood" of people on Twitter. Honestly, I'd rather have it just be controlled by me depending on what color I want in my room. Or, I could have it change color throughout the day depending on where the sun or moon is in the sky as a sort of abstract clock. I think this project is doable for my low level of programming skill.
