Overview

This document will show the five different

Project where done by using the SparkFun
inventor Kit.
All the projects were done by using the
Instructions provided with the kit.
Project 1-A
 Circuit 1: Blinking an LED: Light would come on for two seconds and go off
for two seconds

(ON) (Off)
Project 1-B: Potentiometer
 Circuit 2: Potentiometer : Light would Blink faster or slower based on the
position of the knob.

Figure 3 - Potentiometer
Project 1-C: Photoresistor
 Circuit 3: Photoresistor: using if /else statement, where the variable value is
compared to the threshold.

Figure 4 - Photoresistor
Project 1- D: RGB Night-Light
 Circuit 4: RGB Night-Light : The color of RGB LED change based on the
trimpot’s value

Figure 5 - RGB Night-Light

Project 2-A: Buzzer
 Circuit 5: Buzzer : a song plays from the buzzer when the program begins.

Figure 6 - Buzzer
Project 2-B: Digital Trumpet
 Circuit 6: Digital Trumpet : different songs will play when you press different
keys.

Figure 7 - Digital Trumpet

Project 2-C: Simon Says Game
 Circuit 7: Simon Says Game : using LED lights which player must remember
the pattern and repeat by using the keys on the breadboard.

Project 3-A: Servo Motors
 Circuit 8: Servo Motors : turning the potentiometer will cause the servo arm
to turn.

 Project 3-B: Distance Sensor
 Circuit 9: Distance Sensor : The light will change from green to yellow to red based
on the distance of an object from the sensor.

Green Yellow Red
 Project 3-C: Motion Alarm
 Circuit 10: Motion Alarm: The light will change from green to yellow to red based
on the distance of an object from the sensor. When an object is too close the
buzzer will beep

 Project 4-A: LCD Hello World
 Circuit 11: LCD Hello World : when the program upload, LCD screen will show
“Hello World” and a counter will count every second that pass. You can adjust the
light of the LCD.

 Project 4-B Temperature Sensor
 Circuit 12: Temperature Sensor : when the program upload, LCD screen will show
the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

 Project 4-C “Diy Who Am I’ Game
 Circuit 13: “Diy Who Am I’ Game : LCD will display a word and countdown, when
a key pressed, a new word will display with a new count down. At the end, you
will be shown if you win or loss.

 Project 5-A Motor Basics
 Circuit 14: Motor Basics: A switch is attached to a
breadboard, when the switch is on the motor will spin at a
speed that can be set by the software.

Figure 21 - “Motor Basics

 Project 5-B Remote Controlled Robot
 Circuit 15: Remote Controlled Robot : The two motors connected to the bread
board can spin at the same time, when the switch is on.
 Commands can be used in the software to determine the direction of the motors.

Figure 22 - Remote Controlled Robot

 Project 5-C Autonomous Robot
 Circuit 16: Autonomous Robot When the switch is on the Robot will move forward,
until it sense an object, where it will stop.

For Final Project

Since, I am going to the System Engineering

Field, I think a would like to work on the
Mechanical Project, because I think it would
make more sense for me when I do it.
 Innovative design
 Circuit 17: I designed a bridge that can fit one car at a time. When there is a car on
the bride a red light while come up and when the car leave, the signal will turn to a
green and new car can pass through.
