(Note: If you run into any issue, compare notes with your classmate to figure it out & solve the problem, that is the main point of the lab.
If you have hardware problem, use/borrow your teammate's hardware)

I just had a quick question about the instructions for Lab #0 with the Uno. I wanted to make sure if you wanted us to use the onboard LED on the board or an external LED. The sample videos use an external LED, but the PowerPoint only mentions the onboard LED. (The source code is focused on built-in LED as well.) I just wanted to clarify.

The requirement is the onboard LED, external LED is optional.

I am in the middle of Lab 2 / Servo Motor lab and I run into an issue: my Servo Motor refused to move. Can you give me some pointer to troubleshoot the system?

The main purpose of the lab is to figure out & solve the problem. Reach out to your classmate to compare notes & troubleshoot. I treat every assignment as a test, so I won't be able to guide you to a solution. (According to statistics, 99% of the problems are connections). (If you think it is a bad motor, borrow a good motor from your teammate and run your test). If you don't have a teammate, let me know and I will refer you to one of your classmates. The worst case is you go ahead make your You Tube demo video describe how your software works & describe your hardware or system issue. Submit your PowerPoint with You Tube link & source code with correct filename. Do it before the due date (on time = 2 points), you will get partial credits.

Murphy's law #2:
Hardware always works until you start the lab at the last minute! Then it decides not to work!
Q2:
May I get an extension so that I can order the new hardware to make it work?
A2:
NO. (When the new hardware is in, it is "Game Over")
(Note: I post all assignments 2 weeks in advance, start early, so when you run into issue, you have time to figure it out, compare notes with your teammate & solve the problem.)
Even if your hardware does not work, remember your teammate? You can borrow a working unit from your teammate and run your program. The worst case is you go ahead make your You Tube demo video describe how your software works & describe your hardware or system issue. Submit your PowerPoint with You Tube link & source code with correct filename. Do it before the due date (on time = 2 points), you will get partial credits.

I am in the middle of Lab 4 and I run into an issue: I am running the example script and my stepper motor simply vibrates and does not turn the axle. I noticed it turned a few times but stopped. Is there not enough power or has the motor gone bad?
