A quick update on week 2-3. We've moved along with arduino learning how to program it using photocells and servo motors to follow a light source, which is quite cool actually, I'm still at the "gee-whiz! It moves!" stage of physical computing. I really think they should teach physical computing in Physics 240 (electromagnetic phyics and includes circuits) and Engin 101 (programing). Learning how to manipulate code to actually have a physical result is much more enganing than the same old compile, run, debug, compile, run, "hello world!'.
Anyway, all of this is leading into heliotropic systems (following the sun, like sunflowers).
