My project went according to plan and I built a lunch box alarm. The hardest part was finding a tin lunch box, but I lucked out because one of my friends has a tin box from his Peppermint S'mores Kit. It was also somewhat hard to find the correct buzzer, but Radioshack is amazing and I found it there. It was really cool seeing my exact idea come to life.

I'm going to try and build a mood sensor of the type that would use the color mixer from Arduino/Processing and people switching the knobs depending on their mood. I'm not exactly sure how I will go about getting the people to move the knobs, but I'm thinking of having various questions and the answers will be resulted in the knob they choose to turn. Their mood will be calculated by the color they end up with at the end of all the questions.

My project changed as I was creating it and I ended up making an art making piece. At first, I figured out how to use the pedoimeter knobs to virtually mix colors during lab and I wanted to figure out how to make the square bigger as well. I added two more knobs to try and change the shapes. It took a while, but finally figured out how to do the coding to make the knobs control the length and width. It was a happy surprise that when I made the shapes, the shapes would layer on top of each other. It was cool because I could make a gradient of color as the shapes overlapped and I changed the color with the knobs. This is representational of how art mistakes should not be erased, but instead used in the piece. Everything can be seen as art. I made the exterior look like an etch-a-sketch because the knobs and the function is similar to the etch-a-sketch in that the user controls the "art" with the knobs, but it's different because it controls colors and instead of strokes, the user makes various square/rectangle shapes.
