This week, I worked on my arduino packet with Zoie Sloneker. I learned how to code the “hello world” code. Also, I learned what the 2 built-in functions of the code were. Next, I learned that adding ln to serial.print makes the code work faster and creates a new line of code. I also learned that making the code stop or pause for a certain amount of time is made by using the function delay. I learned that global variables are located outside of any function and local variables are located inside of a function. Then, I learned how to count from 1-10 and have a message appear that red “blast off”. And then reverse 10-1 and then “blast off” red on the screen. Also, I learned how to write a code so that numbers could count up by 3 starting at 21 and ending at 39. Then, I learned how to write a message stating that “a is greater than b”. Also, I learned how to code a blinking light to alternate with another blinking light, which I thought was very cool. Lastly, I was able to code a light to stay on for a specific amount of time on one light, and a specific amount of time on another light, then the same on the third light, and then repeat. All in all, I really enjoyed working with Zoie on the arduino and learned a lot about the arduino. The arduino was very fun and informational!
