The process started out as the the point of the idea, "What do I want to make?" And the final idea was to make something for kids. I then tried to find something around the house that kids would be able to be used, and the lamp is the only thing I could think of without it being a major issue of compatibility. With this in mind, I started to work on the project for the code.
With the foundation layed out, and the project idea ready, We used the tutorial example of the switches and knobs tutorial. The code with the adafruit to assist with the code. With the options for the colors lights, and the light source, I decided to the use this to my advantage. I went with the theme of space, and nightlights. With this, I decided to use the sparkle lights from the code and moved on with the next step of the process, trying to get it to work.
I ran into the error of having the the resetting the circuit board and setting it over and over again to get it to work. But it came to find out, that the battery was a faulty battery and it didn't work. I had to get a new one and having to wait for another took some time. Later down the line I decided to redo some of the code. But that was to no avail, I tried to do a sensory code to detect if a hand was over the sensor, but It didn't work work with the original set up.
For the final preparations, I set it up to have the the light take place of the light-bulb, With the jewel, and device set up, the one last piece to complete it is to where the switch will go. With the lamp being used, I thought of the similar idea to use the switch to hang by its cords just as the lamp switch is like. And with that the project is done.
