Badges
In order for computers to function, there has to be a method of communication between the user and the machine. The commands of analogRead and Serial.begin opens that line of communication.
Congratulations! You have mastered the basic skills of electronic design and Arduino coding. Now its time to move to the advanced stages of implementing Arduino into more complex projects. We'll start with "strings" and inviting a third party to use the Arduino. The third-party may not understand coding or Arduinos therefore, it's our responsibility to create a user-friendly environment.
How to build a dimmable LED. You will read values from a potentiometer, and then based on what values you read, you will set the brightness of the LED.
For Loops, which will allow you to control the conditions of the Loop. This is a very powerful programming technique, and it will allow you to take your projects to more advanced levels.
Allow you the opportunity to code your programs to branch into different directions depending on values that you are reading from sensors.
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform or board and software used to program that is designed to make electronics more accessible to everyone
In order to design and analyze a circuit, we need a working understanding of Ohm’s Law.
The analogWrite command only approximates analog voltages and does not produce an actual analog signal. It works by quickly turning the voltage to the pin on and off or pulse width modulation.
You'll need to be able to prompt a third party user for input and then input that information into the Arduino for an action.
While loops give us increased flexibility in our coding. For loops are based on counters, while loops are set on parameters.
Arduino refers to an open-source electronics platform or board and the software used to program it. Arduino is designed to make electronics more accessible to artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
This merit badge concentrates on two-dimensional art, specifically drawing and painting in various media, including an introduction to design applications in the fields of graphic arts and industrial design, history and design principles, and how these fields relate to fine art.
Hexapoda (insects) Myriapods (centipedes and millipedes); Chelicerata (spiders, mites, and scorpions); Crustaceans (slaters, prawn, and crabs).
In learning about astronomy, Scouts study how activities in space affect our own planet and bear witness to the wonders of the night sky: the nebulae, or giant clouds of gas and dust where new stars are born; old stars dying and exploding; meteor showers and shooting stars; the moon, planets, and a dazzling array of stars.
Being involved in an athletic endeavor is not only a way to have fun, but it also is one of the best ways for a person to maintain a healthy and strong body, living up to the promise each Scout makes "to keep myself physically strong."
Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of atoms. An atom is the smallest unit or ordinary matter that has the properties of the element.
Modern automobiles are important to many aspects of American life. Those who service automobiles must understand each principle, and how these principles interact to provide smooth, efficient performance. Owners of cars also benefit by understanding how their vehicles operate. This enables them to understand why certain periodic maintenance is required to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape.
For most of history, people have dreamed of flying, imagining how it would feel to soar through the sky like an eagle or hover in midair like a hummingbird, to float on unseen currents, free of Earth's constant tug, able to travel great distances and to rise above any obstacle. Today, through aviation, we can not only join the birds but also fly farther, faster, and higher than they ever could.
Earning the Backpacking merit badge will be demanding but rewarding. Scouts will learn what equipment to carry on their backs and what knowledge to have in their heads. In addition, Scouts will discover how to protect the environment by traveling and camping without leaving a trace. By mastering the basics of backpacking, Scouts will develop an even deeper respect for the outdoors.
