Quiz/Schematic review

Last day of outputs

Goals by end of class:

  1. Minimum goal by end of class to earn a B grade on this unit: complete factory challenge – use the Factory Challenge Help Desk with Mr. Varvil.
  2. Eligible for an A grade: Click here to Play a Scale on an Arduino.  Can you modify the program to play a SHORT tune?  Build this circuit NEXT to your Factory Challenge circuit or on a separate breadboard.  Do not destroy your Factory Challenge circuit.
  3. Controlling Sound with Light using an Arduino  Use a photoresistor to control the sound output from a piezo buzzer.  Build this circuit NEXT to your Factory Challenge circuit or on a separate breadboard.  Do not destroy your Factory Challenge circuit.

End of period – turn in boards with your name.  We will evaluate your boards based on your progress.
