3.1.5 Variable Functions

This was a majorly programing assignment were we had to create a program that turned a light on and cepped it on untill a tikker hit over 8 times. Then we modified it so that the light would turn on for 4 seconds and off for 4 seconds and repeet 3 times before it stopped.





3.1.4 Branch Functions

In this activity we were assigned a worksheet where we had to compleet a seres of tasks that involved looping and switches.




Conclution Questions:

1. It is importat to include Branches in programs so that you can have multiple outcomes or multiple paths for the program to follow if one is not selected or working.

2. Light switches are an example of normaly oppen switches found inn every day life.

3. An example of an every day closed switch would be the power running to your house.







3.1.1 Inputs and Outputs

We were given a worksheet where we were tasked with compleeting a worksheet consisting of roughly 20 problems. We used Fishertechnic parts and a computer and a ROBO TX Controller to conduct a series of experiments related to the worksheet.
This was one of the more complicated creations that we made in the worksheet.

Flow Charts

For this project we made a powerpoint that included the flow chart for 2 different senarios and a semi modified for the second from the first.


The third and the second are the same with only minimal change were we had to keep track of how many  times we have done the thing, and also incresed the amount of revolutions to 10 not 3.

Paper Bridges

For this project we used manila folders and created a bridge that spanned an 18 inch gap. Our group's bridge supported 18 magazines.

By the end our bridge was sagging pretty badly but surprisingly it did not fall right away.
