Challenges

The following challenges will lead you through a progression of using the Hummingbird Robotics kit. These will be best done with a partner in order to help you solve problems and think together.

Learning Targets:

• • Connect electronic components to micro-controller

  • Develop familiarity with Snap! for programming

  • working with others to solve overcome challenges and solve problems

Challenge #1

Connect an LED to the Hummingbird controller and make the LED light up.

Challenge #2

Build code that instructs the LED to turn on and off three (3x) times.

Challenge #3

Build a program that outputs a pattern using two (2) LEDs (i.e. - red and green LED blink on and off any number of times).

Challenge #4

Use the tri-color LED and build a program that blinks three different colors in a sequence.

Challenge #5

Trigger an single color LED or tri-color LED to turn on using a sensor (light or sound)

Challenge #6

Control an LEDs brightness using a dimmer (potentiometer) switch.

Challenge #7

Connect a motor and program it to rotate for a period of 3-5 seconds.

Challenge #8

Connect a servo motor and program it to react to a sound sensor.

Can you program it to move at a certain threshold (value)?
