Tasks

1. Install the class libraries from Dropbox.
2. Learn how to read a push button on your Arduino, or switch. Demonstrate this in class to the instructor.
3. Learn how to use a proximity sensor. Demonstrate this in class to the instructor.
4. Learn how to use a distance sensor. Demonstrate this in class to the instructor.
5. Learn to wire an 8 ohm speaker through and Arduino Pin to draw .02 amps.

Learn how to make the speaker make a sound and how to vary it. Demonstrate it in class to your instructor

Make your light from assignment 1 and 2 react to a person's presence with a proximity sensor or distance sensor. Make the timing decisions have meaning. You can use a push button in your design if you want but you must use a proximity or distance sensor. Somewhere in your sequence use sound from the speaker. There will be many devices in the same space. You may only have 1 second of sound in every 30 second period. Use a delay.

This object should be a finished piece, even if simple, ready for display. I intend to display them in the hallway. Due class (15?)
