To Cover

  • Multiplexing and demultiplexing
  • Uses
  • Other uses (e.g. Teabox, audio interfaces, Madrona Labs, etc.)
  • Disadvantages

Ramifications

  • Using many more than the normal range of inputs and outputs from the Arduino, but not without some cost to responsiveness under some circumstances.

  • This is not a weighted task, but you're encouraged to complete it if only to increase your confidence and knowledge.

The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
