FRANZIS 55103 Raspberry Pi Advent Calendar, Build and Program a Nativity Scene in 24 Days, Includes 52 Page Manual, No Soldering

Product Information

reading = potentiometer.read_u16() # Read the potentiometer value and store it in our 'reading' variable

To make our if statement look for ' greater than or equal to', we use a >= operator, like this: if reading >= 40000 Our PWM code also needs a frequency value, which is the number of times per second that we will repeat the ON/OFF cycle. We use 1000in the example below. The Code The 12 Projects of Codemas Maker Advent Calendar is the ultimate festive treat for makers of all experience levels, guiding you step-by-step through 12 exciting days of fun projects including new components to play with every day!For those who want to get technical - the Pico's ADC pins are 12-bit, however MicroPython scales this to a 16-bit range which is 0-65535). We need to add the included 10k resistor between the 3.3V ( red) and signal ( white) pins, so fit this the same way as we have below: The game emulates the starting lights of a F1 race using the LEDs which light up until they are all lit. When the lights go out the race has started and you need to break the beam to record a time. I have even thrown in a poor impression of the starting engine sound :)

Now try changing the text in between the inverted commas - you can write anything you want…“ This calendar is going to be awesome” or “ I don’t like pineapple on pizza”…or even the famous "Hello, World!". You also need to keep an eye on the jumper wires as they like to escape from breadboards sometimes! The Code I am way behind the pace here because I got this as a Christmas gift and I am now working my way through. I’m having immense fun and learning a huge amount. Here is the code for a different game using the same sensors. It is a Formula 1 start time reaction game, for the F1 fans out there.

Activity 4: This button or that button?

Karen, I cannot help but wonder if it’s maybe also the breadboard, sometimes it seems quite loose when connecting the jumper wires with the male DuPont connectors. I also think it’s possible to push components in too much, I did that with the LEDs and I think I ended up making it worse on those columns of 5 points in the main part. We know that 12 days isn't technically advent, but we think it instantly helps to describe the intention for this product (if we just called it a 'calendar' it would be a little confusing!). If it means we end up on the naughty list, so be it... The third line then finally sets that pin value to ‘1’ which is HIGH (on). 1 is always used for HIGH (on) and 0 is used for LOW (off).

Please do not disassemble the circuit as we're going to be using it again with the contents in the next box...see you all tomorrow! Each day you’ll learn how to make a new Pico project with your box's components via our daily online box guides ( published daily from 1st December) , with handy wiring diagrams and lots of code examples in MicroPython . Great for learning how to code or building up your selection of blinky components in a fun way! Easy to follow along

It doesn't matter which side of the LED the resistor sits , as long as it's there limiting the flow of current for the entire circuit ( take a look at the comment section for an example ). Raspberry Pi Pico Pin Map Welcome to day five of your 12 Projects of Codemas Advent Calendar. Today we’ll be making sounds with our code using the custom buzzer you've just discovered in your box!
