Arduino Adventures :: Day 3

It's time to do my first actual Arduino project!

This is a very simple one, but taught me some very important lessons about physical computing. Modern computers do tons of things so that we as programmers don't have to worry about all the random chaos in the real world. But in physical computing, small micro-controllers like the Arduino don't have the complexity to handle these things, so we as the designers/programmers must handle them our selves.

Take a look and see what I mean:

[I also took this as an opportunity to try making a real video about it. Still learning the best ways to record it all, and splice it together, so some parts of this are rough.]
