Open-Ended Exploration
Open-Ended Exploration
Open-ended exploration of using different inputs to create outputs such as lighting an LED strip or sending a message via radio. Some examples can be found here: Inputs + LED, Light LED Strip with Inputs
For Part 1, we used the inputs to turn on the LED screen (the output). But we can use these inputs to trigger other outputs as well, such as turning on the LED strip or, if you’ve taken the Broadcasting course, to send messages.
