How to teach Arduino remotely...

Notes from watching how Adrian teaches:

• Table setup (second camera) - https://sidmlearningfutures.wixsite.com/blog/post/converting-your-living-room-into-a-working-electronics-lab
• Dropbox > shows text files! [probably can also use pastebin]
• explaining input > process > output
• example projects (inspiration!) / portables / wearables / lilypad

Online resources:

• remote teaching/learning arduino (more video examples): https://www.arduino.cc/remotelearning

Sample Arduino code

// Section one Variables and constants ( Run once )
//-----------------------



//-----------------------

// Section two the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); //also known as 13

  // Start Serial
  Serial.begin(9600);
}



// Section three the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(2000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(500);                       // wait for a second
}


// Section four for Any Other Business aka Functions
//-----------------------

/* Blink */

void setup() {
   pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   
  delay(1000);                       
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    
  delay(1000);                      
}

/* Button and LED */

const int buttonPin = 2;     
const int ledPin =  13;  
    
int buttonState = 0;         

void setup() {

}

  Serial.println(buttonState);
 
  if (buttonState == HIGH) {
 
 	Serial.println("LED ON");

        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   
  	delay(100); 
                   
  	digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    
  	delay(100);   


  } else {
   	
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

  }

 delay(100); 

}

/* LDR and LED */


const int ledPin = 13;

const int ldrPin = A0;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ldrPin, INPUT);

}

void loop() {

int ldrStatus = analogRead(ldrPin);

if (ldrStatus <= 200) {

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

Serial.print("Its DARK, Turn on the LED : ");
Serial.println(ldrStatus);

} else {

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

Serial.print("Its BRIGHT, Turn off the LED : ");
Serial.println(ldrStatus);

}

}
