Year 7 Digital Technology
Year 7 Digital Technology students have begun a new unit this Term. Students will be learning about line code, how it works and how to use it in order to program an Arduino microcontroller.
So far this week, Year 7 have been able to analyse the language used by the Arduino microcontroller and have begun programming it to make multiple LED lights flash in a pattern as well as create sound.
Some students took their learning even further by researching existing codes to play songs that we all know and love such as those from Star Wars, Super Mario and Rick Astley on the Arduinos!
The end goal for these students is to continue learning how to code the different inputs and outputs on the device and gradually merge these codes together in order to produce a working alarm system.
We look forward to seeing Year 7’s coding skills develop over the next few weeks!
