 Week at a Glance

Intro:

Questions for quiz

• Arduino Control Flow
• Relational Operators and Conditional Statements
• Logical Operators
• Arduino Loops

 Basic Arduino Circuits

• Blink
• Hook up a basic LED circuit.
• Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge by making your led blink at different intervals.
• 
  
• DigitalReadSerial
• Hook up a pushbutton that reads information and writes it to either the serial monitor or to an led
• Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge by changing your pin assignments and breadboard to match the new assignments
• AnalogWrite
• Hook up a dimming led to let your Arduino control an LED to fade in and out of colours.
• The Arduino should take the RGB led from no light to full red, then no light to full blue etc...
• The easiest way to do this is with a for command (Ardunio - for)
• Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge by being able to code in a specific colour in your code to be displayed by the LED.
• AnalogRead
• Hook up a potentiometer to read an analog value into the serial monitor and an led
• Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge by changing your pin assignments and breadboard to match the new assignments
