What This Document Is
This document is a lab report, specifically Lab 1 for Electromechanical Systems: Software Interface (EMT 2461) at New York City College of Technology, completed in Spring 2023. It details a hands-on exercise involving the Arduino platform, an RGB LED, a push button, and associated components. The lab focuses on initial setup and basic programming to control the LED’s color based on button presses.
Why This Document Matters
This report is intended for students enrolled in EMT 2461, submitted to Professor Baolong Yu as evidence of completing the first laboratory assignment. It serves as a record of the student’s experience with the Arduino environment and hardware connections. It demonstrates an initial understanding of interfacing physical components with software control.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a single student’s attempt at the lab. It does not provide comprehensive troubleshooting, alternative approaches, or in-depth explanations of the underlying electrical engineering principles. It is a record of *what was done*, not a generalized guide.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes a list of materials used (resistors, Arduino kit, RGB LED, wires, breadboard), the lab’s objective, a description of the procedure followed, a schematic diagram of the circuit, the Arduino code used, a picture of the assembled circuit, and a brief conclusion summarizing the learning experience. This preview only provides a summary of these elements; the full code and detailed schematic are within the complete document.
