Project Two Post-Mortem

Morse Code box worked wonderfully...to an extent. I seem to not be so handy with measuring and cutting wood and choosing wood that goes together well (ie the Baltimore Rat Box). Granted I should've explained to the class pre-critique that it wasn't going to be an art piece and that it was a Part I of the final project and was going to be used as a teaching tool. I did learn a lot about putting a physical piece together, soldering, and wiring LEDs together, so not a total bust. Over the course of the project, I've learned what materials work and what didn't (Rat Box) and then how best to solder/place LEDs that would make sense. Hopefully I'll be able to implement all that I've learned here (and failed at) in the following revamped Morse Code box 2.0

Project One Post-Mortem

Well, this project (light relay) did not work out how I had hoped, but from the ashes of said project came the idea for my next project, the Morse Code box. So, it didn't all fall apart. I did get to make the lamp flicker with clicks, very very simplified from what I had hoped to being able to do (making a methane gas sensor, and then changing that to a motion controlled light/sound piece). Through the struggle though, I learned about key presses and FINALLY grasped the concept of working with Processing and Arduino together and actually making it work. This allowed me to get straight to work on the second project.
