Arduino - Lesson 5

Arduino Inputs

I struggled with the parts that involved println();. Nothing was being printed to the sketch. I also struggled with trying to translate the locations of the inputs and outputs and everything from the tutorial to our Arduino board, so I ended up with my breadboard kind of awkwardly on top of the microcontroller.

  1. Nice job Desiree!

    Fortunately most of the tutorials you will follow will be for the Arduino specifically. I understand it is difficult to translate exactly what is going on from the Ada tutorial since they are using a different board. However, it is good practice to build from tutorials and plans that don't necessarily show you step-for-step how to build the circuit with your personal set up.

    There are many many many many ways to build the same circuit. So I hope your struggle is at least fruitful, which it looks like it was.

    Great job on the extra credit!

  3. Also, the println command outputs to the serial monitor in the Arduino software. You can bring it up by clicking the magnifying glass button in the upper right hand corner of the Arduino interface.
