Assignment 3 - Controlling Direction and Speed of Color Flow & Balancing Duration between Colors

Project Members: 
Seung Wook Kim
[Description]
1. One pot changes both direction and speed of color flow
2. The other pot changes the balance of duration between colors


[Components]

- Potentiometer X 2
- Resistor X 3
- LED X 3 (R, G, B)


[Arduino Code]


int pot1Pin = 0; 
int pot2Pin = 2;  
int pot1Val = 0;   
int pot2Val = 0; 
int led1Pin = 9;   // select the pin for the LED 1
int led2Pin = 10;  // select the pin for the LED 2
int led3Pin = 11;  // select the pin for the LED 3
int duration = 0; // duration of a LED on
int bal1 = 1; // color balance for led1;
int bal2 = 1; // color balance for led2;
int bal3 = 1; // color balance for led3;

void setup() {
   pinMode(led1Pin, OUTPUT); 
   pinMode(led2Pin, OUTPUT);  
   pinMode(led3Pin, OUTPUT); 
}

void loop() {
   pot1Val = analogRead(pot1Pin);   // read the value from pot 1, between 0 - 1024, for duration balance bewteen colors
   pot2Val = analogRead(pot2Pin);   // read the value from pot 2, between 0 - 1024, for direction & speed of color flow

   // 1. changing duration balance between colors
   if (pot1Val <= 512) {
     bal1 = 1;
     bal3 = (512-pot1Val+128) / 128;
     bal2 = (bal1+bal3) / 2;
   }
   else {
     bal3 = 1;
     bal1 = (pot1Val-512+128) / 128;
     bal2 = (bal1+bal3) / 2;    
   }
  
   // 2. changing direction & speed of color flow
   if (pot2Val <= 512) {
     led1Pin = 11;
     led3Pin = 9;
     duration = pot2Val;
   }
   else {
     led1Pin = 9;
     led3Pin = 11;
     duration = (1024 - pot2Val);    
   }

   analogWrite(led3Pin, 0);        
   analogWrite(led1Pin, 255);
   delay(duration * bal1);                 
   analogWrite(led1Pin, 0);        
   analogWrite(led2Pin, 255);
   delay(duration * bal2);                    
   analogWrite(led2Pin, 0);       
   analogWrite(led3Pin, 255);
   delay(duration * bal3);                       
}
