Images of Final Project
Description
The Music Lamp is a seemingly normal lamp, but with a hidden ability to play sounds as our aspect of surprise for this project. The box is wired with a hidden switch in the back that controls whether the box will light up or play music. In one mode, the light will turn on and off with the switch on the front, and in the other mode, the switch will turn the music on and off. We decided to play the mario sound track, but with a simple change of codes, we can allow it to play other songs. The box itself is made out of plywood and was cut using the laser cutter.

Our initial circuity on how to control a 12v LED Panel
Our final circuitry before assembling it into a box. The components that are controlled by the Arduino is a Piezo Buzzer to play music, a switch to switch between modes, a switch to turn ON/OFF, and the LED Panel to represent a lamp.
The box after being assembled. The box is made out of plywood, and each face was cut using a laser cutter. We then assembled it together using wood glue.

Discussion
The project was relatively simple because each of the components (switches, buzzer, LED panel) were controlled separately by the Arduino, so conceptually the schematic is easy to understand. However, it was our first time using an external voltage source with an Arduino, so we accidentally wired 12 volts of electricity into the Arduino, which went up into Ryan’s computer, destroying it. This mishap taught us a very important lesson the hard way: to be very careful about how much power you are wiring into a circuit and to make two separate sides on the breadboard for different voltages. We also learned how to use a ULN2308 transistor to safely hook up high voltages (over five) with an Arduino. In retrospect, we could have tweaked the way we switched the different modes. For example, we could have used a random number generator in the code to arbitrarily switch between turning on the light or speaker. This would have changed the wiring since we would have only needed to wire one switch and would have also greatly changed the code. This tweak would allow the project to work without us having to flip the switch in the back, although it would have given us less control. Going forward, we would like to try to challenge ourselves with a more difficult software approach since our code was relatively simple for this project. Most of the code for switches and LEDs, we learned in class. The only other aspects we had to learn was how to use a piezo buzzer as well as how to import code (the mario sound track) and how to use those functions instead of just a simple digital write. We would also like to work on the visual and artistic aspect of projects since our project was made into a simple box and wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing.
