Assignment
0. Finish building your switch. Use slides 60-63 or the videos here to complete your switch. Spend 20 minutes only on this, then move on.
1. Project 2: Iteration is due February 15 before class begins. Please follow all the instructions in this brief.
2. Get set up with Arduino. Please make sure you have the Arduino software downloaded. Once you do, plug in your board and go to File > Examples > Basic > Blink. Upload this sketch and observe if the LED blinks. If it does not, send me a quick message and bring it to class.
