Review questions and exercises

Answer the following questions and complete the following exercises to test your knowledge of this chapter:

  1. How do we know our flex sensor is working?
  2. What happens if you name my variable something that is not allowed?
  3. Why do we use Serial Monitor?
  4. Why did we need to choose a PWM pin for the LED?
  5. Can you complete the circuits created in this chapter? Add them to a part of the body, sew them into a design, or plan where you may want to incorporate them.
  6. Spend some time planning a flex sensor for a different part of the body. What do you need to consider if you are planning for a finger? For the knee? How will these sensors differ? Be aware of the size differences and the pressure or flex on different parts of the body. The knee will need to track a wider movement, but the finger will involve smaller, more precise movements.
