Class Agenda:

• 7:30-7:40 - Entry Ticket - 10 min (see top of Blog for today)

• 7:40 - 8:40 - - Logic Gates
• Lecture on DIP Chips
• What to turn in as the IC assignment ?
  1) screen shot of your Logic.ly logic design
  2) screen shot of your TinkerCAD design doing the same thing as your Logic.ly
  3) IC dialog box text telling me what your circuit is doing
   
• Make a design on https://logic.ly/demo/ that uses 2-4 AND gates, 2-4 OR gates and  if you want an INV or 2.  Think about some type of safety control that could have  the following:
• Emergency Stop
• Operator On/Off
• Gate Closed
• Robot Diagnostic OK
• Power Good
• What Else?
• Not all of these are the same priority Signals, and it's not one giant AND gate tree... 
• Now lets Build them in vertual gates on a bread board.   Tinker CAD https://www.tinkercad.com/

• 8:40 - 9:20 - Python Code
• If you still need to turn in any Python assignments do that. 
• if not,write me a new piece of code that does something cool... You can even find code on the interweb, but you will need to be able to explain how it works.
• like make the blue tooth part of this work but with a Raspberry Pi

• http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Bluetooth-Car-Control-4-X-4/
• TODAY Turn in your code as a fileName.txt and in the IC text dialog what you are doing and what your code does. -  IC assignment

• 9:20 - 9:30 - Cleanup
