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
- Input (the electrical signal to do something), Connection (wires), Logic (how things should happen), Output (what happens / actuators)
- washi tape over led if it is very bright
- run through on the parts and pins on the Arduino
- but before we go further, go to code view and make something happen

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