Before Class:
Read:
- link: What is Arduino?
- watch: An Introduction to Arduino
- read: more about loops
- prepare for quiz on: variables, if statements, for loops, relational expressions, boolean operators, arithmetic operators, functions (the built in functions we've been using). Refer to what we know so far as a study guide -- quiz postponed
- Review directions for submitting work to GitHub
Do:
- look at modulo calculator and try a bunch of numbers to understand how modulo works
- mess around with these code examples
- exercises 1 & 2 in the reading about for loops above (edited 10/1)
- make a sandbox of at least three experiments using nested for loops and try using if statements to create interesting patterns with shapes and color (edited 10/1)
- Submit to the Hw4 repository in GitHub: https://github.com/SCIMA-200-13. For each sketch, label the file Hw4a_lastname_firstname, Hw4b_lastname_firstname and so on (you need to have submitted your username to me to be able to access this repository). See above for directions on how to do this.
In class:
Discuss:
- homework
- for loop competition
- quiz -- quiz postponed!
- intro to Arduino
Studio time:
- half time with Processing 1/2 time with Arduino
- pair up and review 1-2 code examples with a partner. comment each line of code detailing the logic of the for loop and how it is creating the visual. Submit your work to the c5 repository labeling it c5_lastname_lastname (indicating the two lastnames of your duo)
- for loop competition
- work with wk5introArrayCode -- use words to list out the range of feelings you have about programming -- try messing with position, color, etc. Add your monster! post in c5 repository
- Arduino: blink, blink w/o delay, fade, analog input
