Project Update 2!

After figuring out the basics, I got a program of simple blinking lights to work. Amazingly enough, I was able to write the code myself and have a simple understanding of how it works. On the Arduino Uno, I plugged in LEDs in slots 12 and 13 after running ground to the breadboard. You have to start somewhere right?! So next I will try to understand exactly what code I will need to write in order rig up the small camera to it. Here's an example of the code I'm writing:

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);  // set the LED on
  delay(1500);            // wait betweeen blinks
  digitalWrite(12, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);  // Turn LED off
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(12, LOW);
  delay(1500);
}

New Documentation!!!

Been a while, with college and such, but it's time to start documentation for a new project! Given the option, I have made the decision to work with arduino. I'm not exactly sure as to what kind of board I'll be using yet, but it might be a Liliypad I was given by Professor Leah Buchley at an MIT workshop I did. Ideally, I'd like to learn the basics of how to really work with and improve the arduino considering it's a really basic circuit board.

Hopefully I'll be able to rigg up a switch for a camera and then a little LCD screen to view the pictures taken. Starting simple here makes the most sense to me. Then, if I have the capacity to figure it out, may have the button tripped by a motion sensor or something of the sort. Essentially my goal is to really figure out exactly what it will take to do such a project.
