Supplies:
● 3 Axis Accelerometer
● Arduino Pro Mini
● Arc Lighter
● Jumper cables
● Solenoid valve
● Sauter board (after you have working electronics)
We were able to get the lighter to work using a button and LED hooked up to a
blink sketch so I knew that if I could get the accelerometer to activate the blink sketch
that I could at least get the sparker piece to work. Unfortunately, we were not able to get
this portion of the sketch to work. Though we could not get the sketch to work, we
learned a lot about coding and how sketches work.
Being able to hook up the lighter for us was a very big step because we have
never really stepped into the electronics field of engineering other than smaller previous
projects. By taking apart the arc lighter we were also able to learn a little more about the
inner workings of that even if they were less related to the final outcome. We came into
this class with little understanding of coding and for some reason, it is still super difficult
for us to be able to learn and understand. However, the more practice we get with
projects like this that are more difficult the more we are able to learn.
Throughout this project, we learned a lot about how to code correctly, what not to
do and what to do. It was a very hard project however we did all that we could with the
time given to us. One of the biggest challenges was not having enough time to figure
out the coding problems we were having, however we will be doing our best to figure it
out so we can finish this project.
This is close to what ours would have looked like using the Arduino pro mini, accelerometer and
the arc lighter.
