Friday

Time to sketch your own protocols! Our suggestion is to start with a mockup of your project/need, in other words, think about in general terms of steps needed to be taken for your software/project to be up and running. Example for the reaction time task we created:

  1. Inter trial interval (random?)
  2. LED comes on
  3. Start counting time until button is pressed
  4. Detect button press
  5. Turn led off
  6. Record time elapsed
  7. Start next trial
  8. Take the next XX minutes to think about and write down the steps for your task.
  9. Now, show your sketch to the person next to you! While they are reading yours, take a moment to read theirs and make comments! Can you see if something is missing? Is there something that is not clear to you?

Time to implement your task using the training board!

  • Using the training board, start writing actual code to implement your task. Preferably, it needs to be connected to your subject area and achieve a goal that you have set. One of the most time-effective ways to do that is to write small parts of the code and test often to see if the board and code are reacting the way you would expect them to react. But first, create a sketch-diagram showing how your code is supposed to work
