ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino and ESPectro Programming – 8 Oct 2016

Standard

Yesterday we learned about LDR sensor πŸ™‚ Plus being interviewed by CNN Indonesia πŸ™‚

Awa (front) arrived very early so he set up the class! Awesome work Awa! Look at how neat and symmetrical he arranged the stuff! He even set up the teacher desk and payment desk, awesome πŸ˜€

Kids arriving earlier, one didn’t like to be in a pic πŸ˜€

Opening up handout and get ready to test our LDR sensor an

Ozan unboxed his ProCodeCG Arduino kit for the first time πŸ™‚

IMG_3954

Reza started to put LDR and resistor on a breadboard and connect it to Arduino
IMG_3955

Malik had different mission. He was going to test USB UART Driver for his ESPectro Board

IMG_3956

While Awa was always totally interested in trying a new thing
IMG_3957

Hello Zahran, was it giving you a headache looking for that tiny LDR sensor in your toolbox ? πŸ˜€

IMG_3958

Muhammad was getting ready to follow the instructions in handout too
IMG_3959

Awa’s didn’t work. Muhammad and Faris gathered around to help πŸ˜‰

While Malik was still finding ways to install the driver
IMG_3961

Ozan, have you made things work? πŸ˜€

IMG_3962

Reza did. The serial monitor showed the sensor reading, lower numbers when the sensor received low lights and higher numbers when it got more light.
IMG_3963

Muhammad’s worked well too.

IMG_3964

And Zahran’s.
IMG_3965

So we added a LED on the board so it will goes on when the LDR receives low light and goes off when the LDR receives more light.

Not many kids came to the class yesterday. Most of them had something else to do at school or had to go somewhere with their parents.

Areli showed his RGB LED experiments that he set its color to magenta, pink and other cool colors πŸ˜‰ Yaaay good job Areli πŸ˜‰
IMG_3970

Meanwhile, Reza had successfully made the LED on whenever he hovered over the LDR πŸ™‚ Yay!

IMG_3973

Time flies when we’re doing this πŸ˜‰
IMG_3974

Even parents had things to do of their own πŸ˜‰

IMG_3976

More kids showed up for the next class, and so did the reporter and cameraman from CNN Indonesia πŸ˜‰
IMG_3977

They interviewed Awa and asked him lots of questions πŸ˜€

IMG_3978

They also made Awa created blinking LED from scratch! And Awa did it by himself! Bravo Awa!!!

IMG_3981

Malik prepared his project to be demonstrated πŸ™‚ He had lots of plan but we were showing his LED clock project with Arduino (ESPectro demo will be for next time ;))

IMG_3982

Malik in action πŸ˜‰
IMG_3983

Yes, this kid in batik, is our captain sir! πŸ˜‰

IMG_3984

After the interview, Malik got back on his ESPectro USB UART Driver installation and worked. We installed ESPectro NeoPixel library to see if the board worked.
IMG_3988

Yeah, it worked now! Problem solved! πŸ˜‰
IMG_3998

Areli looked really interested seeing it πŸ˜€ Next week please bring your ESPectro, Areli πŸ˜‰

IMG_3999

Reza was busy helping Muhammad and other kid to get their LED work with LDR πŸ˜‰

Ozan finally made LDR and LED work too (look at that happy face :D)

IMG_4004

Yeay! Not bad for the first day unboxing the Arduino kit πŸ˜‰
IMG_4005

We’ll be exploring temperature and humidity sensor next week πŸ˜‰
