This is the last of a 3 part content package. If you haven’t seen any of the previous sessions we suggest doing so before having a go at the content here.
This Session
We use what we have learned over the previous weeks to build a simple circuit and write a basic program to use with an Arduino device. Building on our basic introduction to arrays, we are going to use the information that we were able to gather in our last session to trigger a sequence of values. These values will be used to control a position of a servo.
Considering we already have the program from last session, we should only need to make a few modifications and add in a few extra elements to successfully achieve our aim here.
If you wish to get the most out of the content we advise that you get the following equipment and follow along as you view the session video.
This is what you need:
Download the previous session solution if you don’t have it.
