Light Sculpture

Assignment 2 – Light Sculpture

Goals

Connect LEDs to Argon
Create engaging art piece

Overview

This assignment is to create a physical art sculpture using the Argon and LEDs. The specifics of what the sculpture looks like or what it does is entirely up to you. You can put LEDs on a box, on a card, inside straws or ping-pongs, etc. One suggestion is that you can use “extending” jumper wires (header-receptacle) to have the LEDs away from the breadboard. If you want to use these, ask the instructor.

Some example are below.

Components

Argon
Breadboard
5 x LEDs (or more)
5 x 330 Ohm resistors
Jumper wire (standard header-header)
Creative supplies for sculpture (e.g. cardboard box, straws, glue sticks, felt, paper, ping-pong balls, etc.)
Optional: extension jumper wires (receptacle-header)

Requirements

Connect at least five LEDs to Argon
Control LEDs on / off / blink from code

**Naming convention **
