Intro To Arduino: Ramp-Up Tasks

This document provides instructions for an introductory assignment on Arduino. It asks students to learn about the TinkerCAD simulator by watching videos, creating an account, exploring demos, and completing an introductory project. Then, it lists two Arduino programming assignments: 1) light up a single LED and 2) create a set of traffic lights that change between red, yellow, and green with a button push or on their own with timers.

Intro to Arduino

Ramp-Up Tasks:

This assignment will get you up to speed on working with Arduino and teach you how to
create a simple program. We’re going to work on the free online Simulator called TinkerCAD
by Autodesk.

1) Watch this video to Learn about the TinkerCAD simulator:

Arduino Assignment 1:
List components used, give a VERY BRIEF description of steps, code and screenshot of the
circuit in the answer file (pdf).

1) Light up a single LED with your Arduino.

2) Create a set of Traffic Lights.


• Use red, yellow and green LEDs and a push button to switch between the
lights.
• On pushing the button, red light turns on.
• Pushing the same button again turns off the red light and turns on the yellow
light.
• Pushing the button a third time turns on the green light while the yellow gets
turned off.

Bonus question: Set timers/delays in code so the lights keep alternating from red to yellow
to green on their own without a push button.
