Day four...

26/02/2010
Tasks - official list.
Things I need to get done.

1) Create a blog. - done
2) Put link into moodle wiki. - done
3) Fill in the rest of your details on moodle. - done
4) Check out all the sites related to the list in the embedded systems notices blog. Write a sentence about what each one does. You don't have to be very familiar with each one. - almost done.
5) Find 4 more Arduino LED related videos in youtube, blipTv etc. Put a link and a two-sentence review about each one in your blog. Be prepared to talk about one or more of them.
6) Establish a sketch pad folder. - done.
7) Write the original blink program and save into a sketch pad folder.
8) Write a variation of the blink program that has a LED mostly off. Just winking on quickly. -done.
9) Ditto, but have the LED mostly on. - done.
10) Get the LED to blink 10ms on 10ms off. Can you see it blinking? - No, only faint flickering.
11) Check out the Blink2 program elsewhere in the embedded notices blog. Run it and paste it into your blog. The following tasks are variations of Blink2. - done.
12) Make one of the LEDs blink when the other is off. - done.
13) Get on to blink mostly on and the other is mostly off. "Mostly on" means its on all the time except for a little flash off about once a second. - done.
14) Like 13 but the LEDs are reversed. That is the one that is mostly on is now mostly off. - done.
15) no task 15?? - thats done then :P
16) Get one LED to blink twice, then the other one to blink once then repeat forever. - done.
17) Write a for-loop with counter variable i. Get one LED to blink 5 times, using the for-loop, then the other to blink once. Repeat forever. - done.
18) Like 17) but i can be any value. Try different ones. Later we can input this value from the keyboard. - done.
19) Write a program to get an LED to increase its rate of blinking from 100ms to 1 second. - done.
20) Same as 19 but this time ramp up the rate from 10ms to 1 second then back down again. -done.
21) Write a program to output one LED blinking rate at 200ms that outputs the word "Blink" to the screen each time it comes on. - done.
22) Same as 21 but this time use 2 LEDs of different colours and output the colour of the LED to the screen each time it goes on. So you should see eg "red yellow red yellow".
23) http://wwww.wikieducator.org/User:PeterB/HowManyArduinos0 put atleast one arduino variety, like Freeduino, into this wiki with a screen shot and put a link and a comment back into your blog so that it can be verified. - done
