Sparki goes to college

Hi everyone

So I work in a FE college in BTEC level 2 ICT as a learning assistant and I recently took my Sparki in to give them a taster of programming robotics.

We worked on a simple light following program which the students wrote, debugged and tested themselves also giving ideas about how to improve the program in the future and it worked really well.

Anyway they then had some free time with Sparki and here is an example of one of the codes they had written to turn Sparki into some kind of disco ball:

#include <Sparki.h> // include the sparki library

void setup() {
 sparki.servo(0);
 }
 void loop() {
 sparki.RGB(0,255,0);
 int time=3;
 // make red brighter
 for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
 sparki.RGB(i,0,0);
 delay(time);
 }
 // make red dimmer
 for(int i=100; i>0; i--){
 sparki.RGB(i,0,0);
 delay(time);
 }

// make green brighter
 for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
 sparki.RGB(0,i,0);
 delay(time);
 }
 // make green dimmer
 for(int i=100; i>0; i--){
 sparki.RGB(0,i,0);
 delay(time);
 }

// make blue brighter
 for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
 sparki.RGB(0,0,i);
 delay(time);
 }
 // make blue dimmer
 for(int i=100; i>0; i--){
 sparki.RGB(0,0,i);
 delay(time);
 }}
