The last few weeks I have been looking into different LEDs that I could use for my project. I have looked into LED strips (short and long) and spent most of my time playing with them to understand how I could use them in relation to the Ultrasonic sensor. I also wanted to fine tune the type of code I was using to enact the LEDs with the input from the Ultrasonic Sesnor. I learned that you could cut and re-solder the LED strips, but I am still pretty unfamiliar with them and I am scared to break/short circuit something. But I spent a good amount of time understanding the connections and how I would potentially connecct it to an Arduino board. Also, LED strips require a lot more pieces such as a capacitor, direct current, and specific battery packs. I believe the connection and coding process is a little different that working with other objects and arduino. I began working on the physcial computing of my LED lights for the physical art work. I found a diagram on how to connec...
