Project:
We are starting with the button this time, because the button wasn’t working yesterday. After many trials we started to eyeball the code more closely.
Vs. 
I had to insert:
- “int switchPin = 6;” Which is identifying the button

Day 12: Continuing with project; Combining the two parts
Project:
We created the set up for the button (see Day 1), and then combined it with the light sensor similar to Day 9. Also after the meeting it was made apparent that we should record the values we get …
Day 11: Smoke Detector Button with lilypad
Project:
Finally we got the button to work on lilypad. The problem was that the LED was on initially and once the button was pressed the LED would turn off. We wanted the LED off initially and the button to …
Day 10: Updated Arduino and project progression
Project:
Today we obtained the new version of argiblocks with a lot more pieces to the puzzle.
Now for the project we conversed with our superior that a button should be added to tell when the smoker is smoking. Once …
Day 9: Continue light detector values with fritzing
Smoke Detector Project (completed):
we continued our project from yesterday and finally got it to work. we had a few problems and one of the problems was that it wold indicate that it was both light and dark at the …
Day 8: Thinking further on our project
Second hand Smoke detection Project:
From our works with sensors and circuits how can we put together an accessory that will detect different types of smoke in day/night?
Dewayne:
I think we would have to increase the magnetic field the …
Day 7: Lilypad and Circuit 6
Circuit 6:
We set up the lilypad to be able to sense the difference in light values with a light sensor. We found that the max is a range of 162- 164 and its minimum value (no light) is 0. …
Day 6: Lilypad & Circuit 4 – 5
Circuit 4:
We set up a wave of 3 blinking LED lights with Lilypad. By connecting 3 alagator clips to the ground component we completed the circuit by placing the positive alligator clips on the 5, 6, & 9 slots. …
Day 5: Lilypad and Circuit 1
We were introduced to Lilypad. It is not fundamentally different from arduino uno. Lilypad removes the need to place resistors because they are built in. To get use to the functions and feel of Lilypad we shall go over circuits …
Day 4: Complete 5, Start 6 & 7
Completed circuit 5:We restarted circuit 5 to see if we missed something along the set up process. After lot of head scratching we solved it by setting the digital pin 2 equal to pin 3. The missing Ardublocks photo is …
