Every successful space flight needs a mission control. With your Piper Computer Kit, use PiperCode to program a launch sequence, sound effects, and LED lights to power your rocket’s boosters.
Let’s explore binary code, a foundational part of computing! In this project, you will try to speak a few words in machine language, just as computers do.
With the new Piper Sensor Explorer, there are not only endless possibilities for creation, but now we can use data to inform our creations! Today, we’re going to build a beat-making machine using the Ultrasonic Range finder. Once we’re finished, we will have coded a special drum to produce rhythms!
Students have learned how to build circuits with buttons and LED lights, now they will learn how to use the status of buttons (pressed is ON, not pressed is OFF) to turn an LED light on and off.
