In this module you will be using a simulator and coding platform called MakeCode to learn how to program the the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. The Circuit Playground Express is a multi-functional mircocontroller created specifically for etextiles.
The FIT Library has 6 Circuit Playground Express microcontrollers available for use in the Library, which can be used for prototyping purposes.
We will complete the following tutorials makecode.adafruit.com/#tutorial:13296-94274-79451-39927 and https://makecode.adafruit.com/#tutorial:51322-82633-42740-68224 See also https://makecode.com/_UdyMd2i01Uwi
Challenge: Make a bicycle glove that signals with animated lights which indicate if you are turning left, turning right, or stopping. When you have completed your code, share the link on the Padlet for this module
Think about:
Hand direction for each signal
Right - Hand pointing up
Left - Hand pointing left
Stop - Hand pointing down
Pauses between signals
How and when to make the light animations stop
