Arduino

While I didn't have much previous experience with Arduinos or microcontrollers, I was very eager to learn, as they'd always piqued my curiosity. With Dylan, I read and watched all the assigned articles and videos, making sure to ask questions when I was confused, doing my best to answer Dylan's as well, and of course consulting Google when our questions overlapped. I thoroughly enjoyed setting up the different circuits, input devices, and LEDs while also being able to write the code that controlled them myself. It all felt like a well-put-together puzzle, and solving it felt genuinely fun.

Dylan and I managed to complete every assigned task and pushed ourselves to complete the bonus motor task as well. The experience was very interesting while definitely at times a bit frustrating, but maintaining my determination to learn more about the technology throughout the whole process was what allowed me to learn so much in the end.
