Sid Bar for Teachers: This Module or lesson is how I teach in my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class. I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class. Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant. Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible. Use this email link to let me know what is broken @ TopClown@STEAMClown.org

Caution & Safety Considerations:
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.

Arduino R4
Arduino R4
The Arduino Uno R4 is the latest iteration of the popular Arduino Uno series, featuring significant improvements over its predecessor, the R3. It comes in two versions: R4 Minima and R4 WiFi. Both models are powered by the Renesas RA4M1 microcontroller, offering a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor running at 48 MHz, increased 256 KB of flash memory, and 32 KB of RAM, enhancing performance and memory capacity. The R4 WiFi version includes Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity, a built-in LED matrix display, and a Qwiic connector for easy integration with sensors and modules. This version maintains backward compatibility with previous Uno shields and adds new capabilities like 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), making it ideal for more advanced projects while retaining the beginner-friendly, open-source ethos of the Arduino platform.

This Lab is my first try, and it does not seem super consistent in connecting... It does, about 30% of the time... So I know it works, but just not consistently.

Step 1 - Get the WiFi Library. This video references WifiS3.h, but When I search for it, I just find R4HttpClient.h. That is what I used, so maybe I still need to find the lib this creator used... maybe later.
Step 2 - Look at the resource on the R4HttpClinet.h Github site - GitHub WiFi Lib - piscodev/r4httpclient - I got the example code and make some modifications below:
INO File That Kinda Works, Most of the time - WiFi Connection Test - STEAM Clown GitHub. You need to update with your WiFi SSID and SSID Password. After you make that edit, Don't share this with folks.
Step 3 - I got the code to work about 30% of the time...
0.2.1
Please upgrade the firmware
0.4.1
Connecting to WiFi

Response code: 200
I do need to see about updating the ESP32 firmware... I think
Step 4 - Did better with this code, and started a Server too... find the IP address and then after starting the server, you should, in a browser, see a page with a "reset page" link and 2 buttons. the buttons send a "get request with the /H or /L. See the video about time 5:24
See the latest Github code for running the server and sending a web page with buttons
At some point create and run a python script to send the get request "GET /H HTTP/1.1" or "GET /L HTTP/1.1"

🚀 Formative Quiz - 🔎 Review
🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path
🚀 Summative Quiz -✔️ Skills Mastery Check
Quiz - verify that they are all listed as a "Formative", "Mastery Path", or "Summative"
🚀 Formative Quiz - These are quizzes that the students can take a few times. I have them either set for unlimited times, or 3-5 times, where the final score is their average. The idea is that these Formative Quizzes are designed for students to learn and master a skill. while I want them to ger 100%, and when it's set to unlimited tries, the student should get 100% eventually. When the quiz is set to 3-5 tries with an average, then they should be prepared and should take the quiz seriously. I set the quiz to not show the right answer, but I do let them see their wrong answer. I also put the explanation of the right and wrong answer in the right and wrong answer prompt for each question. That way they can see why they got the answer wrong and learn from that experience.
8.1.0.3.2.4 - Python - Ch 3 - Functions - Quiz #2 -Built-In Functions - 🚀 Formative Quiz
🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path - These Mastery path quizzes are to be presented after the student has had a chance to do some labs and some Formative quizzes. The goal is to let students have 2 chances to take this quiz, and take the average of the 2 attempts. Based on the average, they will be presented with a Canvas Mastery Path, where they will have an option for take additional quiz and assignments to help with remediation. This will get them ready to take the Summative Quizzes.
8.1.0.3.3.1 - Python - Ch 3 - Functions - Mastery Quiz #1 - 🚀 Quiz -🔀 Mastery Path
🚀 Summative Quiz -✔️ Skills Mastery Check - These Mastery path quizzes are to be presented after the student has had a chance to do some labs and some Formative quizzes. The goal is to let students have 2 chances to take this quiz, and take the average of the 2 attempts. That will be their final module/subject topic grade.
