Mapping: It's Finicky

Getting the RGB LED to respond like I wanted was more difficult than I thought it would be. My original idea was to have this project be a interactive example on how our country ignore the science of climate change using the light sensor and water sensor. As I put everything together it all worked, but it didn't work the way I was hoping so I had to table the idea for another time. I believe my main issue was with the light sensor, but I didn't have the time to redo what I have put together.

The result of all of this is an LED light that can be manipulated in three different ways: light sensor, potentiometer, and water sensor. The potentiometer can also be used to activate the active buzzer after crossing a certain threshold. 

Materials:
  • 17 Jumper Wires
  • 1 Arduino UNO
  • 1 RGB LED
  • 3 220ohm resistors
  • 1 photoresistor
  • 1 Water Sensor
  • 1 Potentiometer
  • 1 active buzzer
