Please review the following:

• What is an Arduino - Sparkfun

For these activities you are going to hook up some circuits using TinkerCAD (or on a real Arduino - Breadboard)

Record the answers to the following questions in your ePortfolio:

• • In what order do program commands execute in Arduino?

  • What is a Control Flow command? What do they do?

  • What is the difference between pseudocode and a flowchart?

  • What is the purpose of semicolons in Arduino sketches?

Relational Operators and Conditional Statements

Record the answers to the following questions in your ePortfolio:

• • What are the main relational operators?

  • What data do relational operators return?

  • How are conditional statements represented in flowcharts?

Logical Operators

Record the answers to the following questions in your ePortfolio:

• • Explain how the numbers 0 and 1 are connected to the terms TRUE and FALSE in Arduino.

  • Explain the difference between an OR (||) and AND (&&) operator in Arduino.

  • Explain how a == command works in Arduino.

Arduino Loops

Record the answers to the following questions in your ePortfolio:

• • What is the difference between a Serial.print() and a Serial.println() command?

  • What is the key difference between an if and a while loop?

Assignments - Basic Flow Chart

• BG - Create a flow chart for your evening after school. Describe your evening from 3:31 to the time you go to sleep. Use the shapes above. 

• DV - Create a flow chart for all the below Basic Circuits.

Assignments - Basic Circuits

Begin your Arduino journey with the following circuits. Be sure to record what you have done with either pictures, schematics, and code documentation of what you've done. Ensure your flowchart is also in your ePortfolio.

For each of the following circuits, please make sure the following are on in your ePortfolio:

1. TinkerCAD photo of circuit 

2. Code in a GoogleDocs

3. Schematic view PDF from TinkerCAD

4. "In Real Life" photo/video of breadboard

5. Flowchart for code

• 2.07.01Blink

  • Hook up a basic LED circuit.

  • Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge by making your led blink at different intervals.

• 2.07.02DigitalReadSerial

  • 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

• 2.07.03AnalogWrite

  • 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.

• 2.07.04AnalogRead

  • 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

  • Code can be found here Arduino Controls
