       b.    What you are drawing must take at least 20 project hours in-class to complete
       c.    Each  week you will complete a progress report and show what work has been done
3.    Research project on 3D printing covering:
       a.    Different types
       b.    Recent technology
       c.    Future technology

Arduino Culminating
1.    Complete all labs
2.    Create personal project OR complete combo project (project that combines 3-5 different labs)

Lilypad Culminating
1.    Complete basic project
2.    Create personal project which includes:
       a.    Instructions on how to sew it together
       b.    The use of Lilypad and at least 4-6 lights

Culminating Proposals are due Friday, May 27th.

Culminating Bounty Hunter Projects - Farm Targets

Data Logging:
Waterproof sensor that will record moisture and temperature readings to an SD card to track readings every 3 hours from 6am to 6pm.  It should be solar powered.  This is mostly an Arduino project but can include 3D printing.

Chicken Coup:
Automatic door that closes the chicken coup at night.  This requires a gate to be 3d printed as well as mounts and cases for the servo, light sensor and Arduino.  This is a 3D + Arduino project.

Temp Probe/App
Temperature probes that can be put into a pile of compost to remotely send temperature and moisture readings to an iPhone app.  Probes can be solar powered.  This is mostly an Arduino project.

Circuit Flow Practice

Circuit Flow Practice

See if you can trace the flow through all the circuits below:
Use the following codes:
LED Cathode = LED+
LED Anode = LED -

Example 1:
The path flows from:
Pin 13 - J9 - F9 - E9 - C9 LED+ - C10 LED- - E10 Resistor - F10 Resistor - J10 - GND
