Lesson Plan: Week 5

In Week 5 we will do the following (please, click on the Segment links below to access the course materials):

Segment 1:

• Discussion of the Arduino Platform and its use to control electronic circuits.
  
• Explore the use of digital pins as outputs.
• Learn basic programming techniques.

Segment 2:

• Learn the use of functions in Arduino sketches
• Organize Arduino sketches with tabs
• Use digital pins as inputs to control outputs
• Use analog input pins

Deliverable 2:
Deliverable 2 is in lieu of a first exam. It will represent 10% of your final grade.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Homework 4:
Submit a gcode file ready to print on a standard filament 3D printer featuring at least one component of your project as presented in Deliverable 2 and show it off in class.

Consider gravitational forces when you design the parts and when you place/orient them on the printer bed.

gcode files can be generated with Cura or any other slicer software for printers.

Goal: Roll up your sleeves and build your project!.

To get credit: Submit the file and show us your print ready project component(s).​
