Introduction
In order to better understand the digital tools used in the different activities, we used images (e.g. screenshots), although these images belong to the owners of these tools.
Usually, when we build a gadget, we use a small prototyping board we call an Arduino. But before you can build anything, you need to learn how to program this board. To do so, you’ll use Tinkercad to build a fantastic counter on your computer!
What you will learn
• Build an electric circuit in Tinkercad;
• Recognize the names and functions of certain electronic components;
• Correct use of Arduino functions: digitalWrite(), pinMode() and delay();
• Identify and fix code errors;
• Recognize the existence and importance of electronics in current technology development;
• Develop technical knowledge in the area of electronics, by identifying components, their functions and their application in circuits;
• Evaluate information, critically and autonomously, transforming it into knowledge;
• Ability to solve problems by creating original and creative solutions;
• Focus on objectives and results;
• Assess the impact of decisions made;
• Ability to adapt to new situations.
