Week of 10/07 - 10/11

This week I finally completed filling all of the remote's buttons with unique commands. With Mr. Christy's help, I was able to fix the command that cycles through all of the colors in the rainbow. The loop I used initially to create the gradient had one for loop that counted up the number of pixels and another that cycled through the elements of the array. This caused a problem when I pressed the button to turn the command on. I had intended for the colors to loop continuously until another button was pressed. However, with the two for loops, the colors would only cycle through twice. After altering it and using an if statement, I ran into another problem. This time, the cycle would stop just after two colors presented themselves. Finally, I fixed this so that the colors cycled forever until I pressed a different button. Since I have now finalized the code, I have began working on customizing the remote. I want the buttons on the remote to show the colors that each button corresponds to, so I started to design a sticker that would go on top of the remote. I hope to get this sticker printed out by the Graphic Design shop after I finish designing it.
