Today we continue our exploration of circuit building by continuing your activities from last Thursday.
After you have had all four activities and the questions on the back of the page, go to the computer lab and visit rodmistead.com/pt.
Now that you are here, click to begin your Arduino programming adventure.
We are entering a new unit in Principles of Tech: Circuit Building and Arduino Programming.
Your first activity will be circuit building. There are four activities (plus extra credit) to complete and have signed off by Mr. Gauna or Mr. Milstead.
If you have has all five activities signed off then here is your next step: start building and programming a circuit.

2. Puzzle revisions – if you see your name below, please follow the link for help in revising your puzzle and then submit the new version again.
Archie – check the cutline width – it should be .001 (one thousandth of an inch) for every puzzle piece.-set the cutline to one thousandth of inch
Kaden – you need to complete the final step by using document properties. -final step – document properties and saving as a PDF
Ryan– you need to complete the final step by using document properties. -final step – document properties and saving as a PDF
Paul – check the cutline width – it should be .001 (one thousandth of an inch) for every puzzle piece.-set the cutline to one thousandth of inch
Gabe – check the cutline width – it should be .001 (one thousandth of an inch) for every puzzle piece.-set the cutline to one thousandth of inch
Gavin – you need to complete the final step by using document properties -final step – document properties and saving as a PDF AND check the cutline width – it should be .001 (one thousandth of an inch) for every puzzle piece. -set the cutline to one thousandth of inch
Cole– you need to add an outside cutline to your puzzle. You need to add an outside cutline and then make sure that all puzzle piece lines connect to outside cutline. Then make sure that the cutline is .001 (one thousandth of an inch. -set the cutline to one thousandth of inch -final step – document properties and saving as a PDF
3. Photoshop Fun download both of these files and open then in Photoshop. We will use the selection tool and layer masking.
If you know how to use the magnetic lasso and layer masking then you can create your own image like the one below.
I will have puzzles ready tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will have a five question quiz about laser cutting and Inkscape.
>online
>multiple choice
>all about Inkscape, laser cutting and the rules of class (should you BBQ in class?)
