Section outline










  • Big Idea:

    Designing and making moodlight using picaxe micro controller

    Learning Intentions: 

    begin programming a picaxe microcontroller

    Achievement Objectives: 

    use a digital device to create an outcome

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • constructed a bread board with picaxe
    • downloaded a programme
    • worked through the programme examples

    Activities:

     we are beginning to learn programming of a microcontroller 

    • go to the website - picaxe
    • go to the downloads section
    • download the software, for windows it is 'programming editor 6, for Mac it is Axepad, for chromebook you need to access the app 'Boxy

    next stage is to set up your breadboard, this will be covered in class, test the setup, download and begin programming examples
