LED Web
The intent of my project was to create a spider web out of LEDs and code it using Arduino to light up in the way that a spider actually weaves a web. After the web is entirely lit, I coded it so it will decay to turn off. The code to have the LEDs turn off is coded at random to portray the random decaying of a spider web that natrually occurs. The spider web was constructed by poking around two hundred white LEDs through a 12x12 piece of cardboard in the shape of a spider web. I then soldered the back and created the code for the project to work.
Plan and Code
Map out the design on paper. Code the project using Arduino.
Construct the Design
Place the LEDs in the appropriate location, with all grounds lined up on the same side throughout the construction.
Solder and Connect
Solder the back of the LEDs to wire to connect the LEDs to the Arduino and bread board.
