Logic phase

Task: After wiring and configuring the physical components, design, test and implement the logical steps/operations to make the project work.

You will do so by clicking on a link to a Tinkercad project and completing the activity there. Here is a sample calibration task: Using an LED with a Button - Part 3 - Logic

Focus: Problem-solving, Algorithmic thinking, Programming, Testing

What we learn: About how to generate algorithms, implement and test different Arduino C/C++ instructions

Sample solution: Completing the circuit that connects an Arduino microcontroller, an LED and a button

Algorithm

Equivalent programming instructions

void loop()
{
    /* Step 3. Check if the button is pressed  */
    /* Step 4. If pressed, turn the LED on */
    /* Step 5. If not pressed, turn the LED off */
}

void loop()
{
    /* Step 3. Check if the button is pressed  */
    if ( digitalRead(button) == LOW ) {
    
        /* Step 4. If pressed, turn the LED on */
        digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
    }
    
    /* Step 5. If not pressed */
    if ( digitalRead(button) == HIGH ) {
    
        /* turn the LED off */
        digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
    }
}

After the logic phase, a solution is always shared to allow the group or individual to validate ideas.
