Week #7 and #8 Monday May 18 – Friday May 29 THIS IS THE LAST ONE OF THE SEMESTER GOOD LUCK!!!

Engineering Assignment Project #4 is to:


Create an ARDUINO simulation with resistors and an LED on TinkerCAD CIRCUITS
When you’ve completed this project, send me a screenshot of your TinkerCAD Simulation (like this):

TinkerCAD circuits! Yes, it's great to get started with 3D design but you can also access a virtual Arduino here also! Let's quickly go

Time to begin learning circuitry!
There are a couple areas to go into: Lessons and Circuits. Lessons will allow you to learn the basics and be guided through it. Circuits will allow you
to experiment.
Go to TinkerCAD circuits: https://www.tinkercad.com/circuits
Scroll down and click LAUNCH TINKERCAD CIRCUITS TAB
Click on create a new Circuit.
Scroll down and find the Arduino Uno R3. It will act exactly like it's real life counterpart!
Click on the LED and then near the Arduino to bring it into the workspace.
Now do the same with the resistor, click on it and then near the Arduino. Do this twice, since we will need two resistors!
Here you will see the pinholes to use to get started!
Click and drag the two resistors from earlier to the GND and 13 pinholes.
Now click the tips of the resistors and then click the tip of the LED light. You will connect virtual wires so that we can run a virtual current to
light it up!
A little introduction on coding...
Luckily if you are new to programming, coding or electronics, the circuits feature on TinkerCAD uses block programming. Don’t worry this is easy!
Click here to launch the coding aspect of the simulator
Clicking here will allow you to switch from block programming to block programming + text or to just text. For this lesson, let’s stick with block
programming + text, since that will allow you to see the language take shape as they add blocks.
See the 3 examples below:
Grab the "set pin" block, drag it in and then click on the number 0 to see the drop down. Since we have our LED on GND (ground) and on 13, pick
13. To see the simulation, click on the Code button that is highlighted blue to hide the blocks and text.
Click on the start simulation button and magic! Your virtual LED will light up! Congratulations! You’ve completed this project!
Take a screenshot or a PIC and send it to me via email or REMIND!

Thank you for your hard work in class! I will miss all of YOU! 😍😍 😍😍 😍😍
