Assignment due Feb 19
General
- Bring all supplies and your assignment to next class.
Part 1: Prepare for Arduino 1
Next class we will dive into Arduino with the Circuit Playground Express. If you choose to use a different board, you are responsible for translating the pins using the pin out during in class exercises.
- Make sure you have the Arduino software downloaded before you come to class.
- Bring the Circuit Playground Express (or another board if you choose), a data cable (not just a power cable!), Alligator Clips, and a laptop to run the IDE.
Part 2: Switch Mechanics
Submit your documentation to this Google Form by end of day on Feb 19.
Create another switch inspired by a specific action or verb. Build it, test it, and document your process. Please bring it to the next class – we will use it!
Document your project on a personal blog, in a Google doc, or another easily shareable format. It must include the elements below:
- Write a brief description of how your switch works and why you decided to make this design.
- List the materials and tools you used.
- Take 2-3 process pictures that documents you building the switch.
- Take a video demonstrating you testing the switch with a battery and LED.
