Building your bag tag in Inkscape

Preparing your bag tag for laser cutting and engraving

Turn your phones in at the beginning of class. Phones used during class without permission will be sent to the assistant principals’ office.

1. to be completed today : the Arduino Stoplight Project – click here for details.
2. after you have shown your completed Stoplight Project to Mr. Varvil you may begin the Inputs/Outputs in Our World project.  This project is due at the Tuesday, October 30th  end of day November 8th.
   • read the descriptor first
   • brainstorm ideas
   • sketch your idea and be sure to include one input and three outputs
   • show your completed sketch to a teacher for approval and credit
   • graded assignment: fill out this short survey to tell us what you are making and what you need

Stoplight simulation begins

1. open your LED tinkercad circuit that we have worked with.
2. if you don’t have them already: sample here
   >add two more LEDs to your circuit
   >HINT: connect each LED to a separate pin.  Don’t have them share pin 13.
   >modify your program so that each LED can light on it’s own: sample here
3. add an input (button) to your three-LED circuit: sample here
4. modify your code to include the button: sample here
   Ready for more!!
   >if you have a three-LED circuit with a button then make a brand new circuit with a three color RGB LED.
   >already have a three color LED circuit?  Now it’s time to add movement to your circuit with a servo.  HINT: use the sample code for a standard servo on this page.  The continuous servo code doesn’t work in tinkercad but it does work in real life.
   >NOW make your servo move when you push a button.
5. These skills allow you to create a Halloween prop like this.

1. review Tuesday’s work.
2. common Arduino errors and how to fix them.
3. variables – what they do and how to use them
4. short class survey – thanks.
5. login to tinkercad.com and go to the circuits  section.
6. Arduino today:
   1. setup a total of three LEDs on your breadboard.
   2. add to the program: control each LED independently in this order:
      green for one second
      yellow for half a second
      red for one second
   3. add an input (button) to your three-LED circuit: sample here
   4. modify your code to include the button: sample here
   5. done?  Make a BRAND NEW CIRCUIT and use an RGB LED.  Click here for circuit and code.
7. end of class quiz

>no food or drink in the lab
>no games
>phones in the phone holder

today – we begin programming Arduino micro controllers

1. go to tinkercad.com and
   1. login if you have an account
   2. create an account if you don’t have one.
2. once you are logged in to Tinkercad, click on the “Circuit: button on the left side.  Then click on the green ‘Create New Circuit” button.
3. try building a circuit while everyone else logs in.
4. together as a class: build a battery powered circuit.
5. together as a class: build an Arduino powered circuit.
6. together as a class: program your Arduino
7. take a quiz at the end of class TODAY
