# Week 6: Untoolkit: Electronic inputs

*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*](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*

### **6.1 How does a breadboard connect?**

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.

### 6.2 (Assignments in class)

How to make a flasher:

### 6.3 How do you  make an on-off switch?

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.

#### How to make a Fish hook switch

### 6. Quarantzine

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](http://andreimotian.com/quarantzine/). 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.
