Process

In my process, I began through exercises involving the connection of my Particle Argon device to the cloud. For this step, only LEDs were used. It was very much a back-to-basics exercise; though I have had experience with electronics before, connecting to the internet is quite new to me.

Afterward, studies involved testing out two sensors: a flex sensor and a force sensitivity resistor. This was quite quick, as both sensors have similar resistive qualities and almost identical circuits. Some improvisation was needed to combine the two. One interesting problem I ran into was in making the LED that signals flexing to light UP when bent, instead of the other way around: the default function from the teaching code provided. It was a learning experience, inverting the mapping by subtracting the variable from the highest reading of the sensor.
