More Arduino Sketches and Fractals!

Progress on my Arduino sketches and the Lorenz attractor fractals has been so good this week, I have two videos I have yet to post and even more to make!

Yesterday, I found some time to do some soldering. The board on the left is an RGB (red/green/blue) LED complete with three resistors. The other board is an adapter for a Wii Nunchuck.

I already started trying out the LED today (video will be posted tomorrow), it works well. The nunchuck adapter I probably will not use for a while, I have other things to try out first. 

Next, we have a test of a numeric keypad that I recently bought. I used two Arduino boards in order to try out serial communication between Arduino boards. The first Arduino determines what button was pressed, assigns it a numeric value, and sends said value over serial connection to the second Arduino. The second Arduino then sets the LED to that brightness level.

I also have another video of my Lorenz attractor program. I will explain more in my next post!
