Arduino Blink ProjX

I'm both excited and feeling goofy this Christmas break. Excited to explore the world of electronics that I've desired for some time, and goofy at how proud I am of the super simple projects that I've prototyped with an arduino and breadboard. I had a Raspberry Pi in the past, but the way that I utilized that was mainly as a cheap CPU and for coding. Arduino seems to be much more aligned to making programmable electronics. Suits me fine!

Thus far I've used the Elegoo Uno R3 (super starter kit; Amazon $30), which is a clone of the Arduino Uno (I think). It came with a set of tutorials and thus far I am up to buzzers (lessons 5&6). All of the tutorials can be gotten free @ elegoo.com/download.

Here's a quick list of what I've made:

Blink_morse_i_love_u - The board "L" led blinks "i love u" in Morse code.
RGB_LED_USA - 2 codes:

switches LED from red to white to blue in a loop.
blends color from red to white to blue in a loop.

Digital_Input_LED - 1 button input pressed will trigger the morse "i love u" sequence and the other will turn the LED on for a few seconds.

Here are the codes written in Arduino IDE

I also found a few cool videos and updates for some things to think about moving forward as I seek to make cheap toys, gifts, nick knacks and other trinkets in the future.

Modules on Virtual Memory | Making the Most of Ancestral Intelligence

This project was conceived to better understand the future of the internet, given Generative AI and the burgeoning population. This ultimately has to do with the increasingly abundant amount of information, and our increasing collective ability to remember a lot of what has happened, and recollect what has happened; all of us, Generative AI included. I would like that we amended our current semantics to Generative Ancestral Intelligence , as I think that this gives a clearer idea for the matter of discussion. Below find the modules for this iterative journey through the expanse of The Mind.

Orb Weaver Beyond the Window

Saw this little guy outside my daughter's window. Grabbed my Bugs and Slugs guide and got ID down to American Spider or Orb Weaver. Searched genus name for Orb Weaver (Araneus) and Wikipedia had a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) front and center. I think that's a match. Excited to pursue IDing common species that we live with everyday and yet know nothing about. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus

Enlarging a Bike Trailer w/ Fence Post

I had an old Allen trailer that my daughter got too big for. I've been dreaming of still biking her around places so I can get fit and she can watch videos while we head to fish, a park, or a roller rink. Flipped stroller handle on trailer to give more height. Draped the trailer cover to cover more of the sun. Secured fence post with spring clamps to add side paneling that holds the extending front paneling. Add a rolled up inflatable camping mattress covered by an old army duffel bag for comfort on the legs.
