2) I learned about the importance of paying close attention to make sure all the commas, spaces, and periods are in the correct places and that there is consistency with the capital/lowercase letters. It is easy to make mistakes with these that will result in the code not working.

3) I'm eager to learn more about how what we're learning with python right now is going to relate to coding our digital projects and what that process will involve.

2) I learned about how helpful the different error codes are in figuring out what mistake you made and how to fix it.

3) I still don't fully understand the vast number of commands that can be used in relation to a list to have the code manipulate the list in different ways.

MicroController - Real Time Clock

1) We were given a real time clock censor and tasked with the job of having our microcontroller give data from the real time clock.

2) We followed the steps on the real-time clock page of the Google site, and Mr. Kleindolph helped us figure out how to set the clock to the correct time and date.

3) Github Gist

Digital Project Creation Plan

1) I am planning on using the Feather ESP32 for my digital project. When you click the first button, I want it to display the time and date. When you click the second button, I want it to display the temperature and humidity (using the temperature sensor). And, finally, when you click the third button, I want it to display a photo of my two cats cuddling together.

2) The microcontroller will be the Feather ESP32. I will also be using a real-time clock and temperature sensor.

3) The project is going to be stand-alone. I want it to be in a simple box. Depending on the time I have, I may decide to engrave designs on the outside of the box.

Final Digital Project Documentation

1) Github Gist with Code

2) For my digital project, I used the Feather ESP32 to display the time and date, weather, and several photos of my cats and the dog I dog-sit.

3) I learned about the importance of specificity and getting everything EXACTLY right in coding for it to work. After working on my Digital Project, I feel I have a better sense of how coding works in general and the steps involved in making your code and uploading it to the device.
