Day Ten
Be sure that you have the latest version of the course materials; they are constantly changing. Be sure not to run the Arduino IDE and an Arduino-based Pure Data patch at the same time; they will compete for the serial
Day Nine
Agenda Test your ID card in lock before end of class Schedule changes Pd exercises Git hint: for a read-only checkout of the course materials, you can skip the history, which will save space and go faster: git clone –depth
Day Six
Agenda Git? Ethernet? Arduino exercises Quick project idea review Due date in one week: Mon, Sep 22, Arduino one-in-one-out The Pololu A4988 module is a newer, compatible replacement for the A4983 module used in the stepper motor exercise. The A4988
