TUI HW2--

Emotion Displayer -- Done by Digital I/O with Arduino Board

I made a "heart" as the diffuser for RGB LEDs.

Red heart represents you are happy.

Blue heart is for depressed feeling.

Green heart shows sth. makes you excited.

When you feel nervous, the heart will blink rapidly in different colors.

The stronger your feeling is, the lighter the LED will be.

My Code:

/* Aithne Sheng-Ying Pao
* TUI HW2
* Serial RGB LED
* ---------------
* I design the interface to express emotion!!! Ex. extremely happy, very depressed, somewhat excited, extremely nervous, and etc.
* Serial commands control the brightness of R,G,B LEDs
