Arduino Project – LED Skull 5: Adding Subroutines/Functions

This code was a great opportunity to introduce the idea of subroutines and returning values from subroutines (functions) with an Arduino Uno.

Arduino Project – LED Skull 4: Add HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module

The next step in creating a spookier skull was to add an HC-SR04 ultrasonic module that would fire the LEDs based on proximity to a viewer.

Arduino Project – LED Skull Eyes 3: Adding a Second Eye

The next step involves adding a second "eye" (LED), independent of the first, to maintain the wink effect.

Arduino Project – LED Skull Eyes 2: Wink Effect

More variables and the addition of a "wink" effect to make the LED skull eyes seem more animated.

Arduino Project – LED Skull Eyes 1

The first part of this project (adding LED "eyes" to a skull, driven by an Arduino UNO) was about teaching code optimization, abstraction and commenting.
