Arduino Assignment 2 - Parts of a Sketch

1) For this assignment, you will watch a video that introduces you to what an Arduino is. Read these questions BEFORE you watch the video so you know what to be on the lookout for:

• What programming language does the Arduino understand?
• What two functions MUST be part of every Arduino sketch?
• What is the purpose of a semi-colon at the end of a function statement?
• What are arguments?
• What happens in the void setup() function?
• What happens in the void loop() function?
• How do you create a variable in an Arduino sketch?
• What is a global variable? Where do you place global variables?

2) Watch this video. Click here to see the Arduino reference page that the video discusses - the Arduino reference page explains most of the functions, variables, and structures we will use in class.

3) Answer the questions attached to this Canvas assignment.
