Before you start: what you need is a laptop with Arduino running, a breadboard, an Arduino chip, LED light, a resistor, copper tape, paper, a hook, The instal settings for the Arduino used below is found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aFRC0VdVIbRenT0CW5ew4-4AH3j7XAGYa3P95yy8QsQ/edit
Assignment
make one antiprimadonna on/off switch (archive-worthy!)
make one antiprimadonna analog sensor (archive-worthy!)
build the basic tools (a few paperclip connectors, a LED/resistor pad, a voltage divider)
learn how to connect it to a microcontroller, program it, and get readings from your sensor in the serial monitor and plotter of the Arduino IDE (video!)
make a video of the working circuits, and the values coming in, the LED changing brightness (video!)
document step-by-step how you made everything and how you made it work (incl debugging)
show at least 3 annotated iterations of each sensor
The middle parts connect with the 5 holes vertically (however not from the upper middle part and the below middle part). The + connects along the entire + row. The - connects along the entire - row.
How to make a flasher:
An on-off switch only has two states, on and off. The circuit for an on-off switch looks like this:
The input is VCC which gives 3V power.
The switch is normally closed.
The circuit powers a LED light.
The output is in ground.
Supplies list: The arduino switch set up, paper, copper tape and a fishing hook.

Andrei and I were the editors of this week's zine. Because of the HvA closing down in this period we decided to make the zine into a website which can be found here. Andrei made the website and i made the front and back pages. We still kept the zine style for the website by using red and yellow colors only.
