If there isn&amp;#39;t already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline&amp;#39;s team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. &amp;quot;Featured Video Setup Doc&amp;quot; lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.</description></item><item><title>Wiki Page: Featured Video Setup Doc</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/w/setup/26827/featured-video-setup-doc</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Nov 2021 04:36:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d3a18133-a776-4d06-b7fa-3f654c73b39c</guid><dc:creator>ChristyZ</dc:creator><description /><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/featuredVideo">featuredVideo</category></item><item><title>Wiki Page: Featured Content Triptych Setup Doc</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/w/setup/26828/featured-content-triptych-setup-doc</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Nov 2021 04:36:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f21f9071-3a39-40a4-9af5-055b5e77d6e0</guid><dc:creator>ChristyZ</dc:creator><description>Feature 1 Sub Title 1 Description for Feature 1 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 1 Feature 2 Sub Title 2 Description for Feature 2 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 2 Feature 3 Sub Title 3 Description for Feature 3 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button 3 Text</description></item><item><title>Wiki: Setup</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/w/setup</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Nov 2021 04:36:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:992dbf31-c47e-41e5-b425-ce505a92572c</guid><dc:creator /><description /></item><item><title>File: Community Feedback 02 - Logic Gate Board Game</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/m/managed-videos/17750</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Oct 2021 02:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:5b75a89b-9689-4239-8b59-63dbc7d76f24</guid><dc:creator>tariq.ahmad</dc:creator><description>Ben and Karen look through suggestions from the community on their Logic Board Game.

Watch them build and mod community-inspired projects using electronics! Back to The Ben Heck Show homepage Community Feedback Featured Bonus Content See All Episodes www.youtube.com/watch Ben and Karen look through suggestions from the community about the Logic Board Game. Suggestions include using connections similar to snap circuits to make junctions possible and magnetic clasp to make it easier to join circuits. Another suggestion involves using a simple wire matrix connected with push pins for the circuit connection. Community Feedback comes from fisher0251 and DAB ! Congratulations you win a Free Ben Heck T-Shirt! fisher0251 has some ideas on how to improve the game for its audience. He taught middle and high school for 11 years before going into engineering. He also has four sons between ages of 2 to 13 so he&amp;#39;s seen a ton of educational games. He suggests that the connections be made similar to snap circuits, to make junctions possible. Magnetic clasps would make it easier for kids to join the mechanical straps. DAB suggests a simple wire matrix that can be connected with push pins for circuit connections. This would be along the lines of a physical PLD matrix to connect inputs and outputs of the logic gates. You could figure out a simple design and possible 3D printer setup with a peg board structure.</description><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/stem%2bacademy">stem academy</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/tbhs">tbhs</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/education%2bkits">education kits</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/logic%2bgates">logic gates</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/game%2bdesign">game design</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/theheckwithkaren">theheckwithkaren</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/logic%2bgate%2bboard%2bgame">logic gate board game</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/pld">pld</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/stem%2bprojects">stem projects</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/communityfeedbacktbhs">communityfeedbacktbhs</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/magnetic%2bclasps">magnetic clasps</category><category domain="https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/tags/steam%2beducation">steam education</category></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/w/documents/2771/logic-gate-bg-ideas-list?CommentId=63b7fcab-fe51-4d4e-92ab-7dd9f43e1923</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Aug 2017 14:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:63b7fcab-fe51-4d4e-92ab-7dd9f43e1923</guid><dc:creator>makerkaren</dc:creator><description>Funny you say that. I found this neat kids computer at the thrift store that uses plastic punch cards to change programs. I hadn&amp;#39;t seen something like that before.

You could also use punch cards as the gates. This would keep your cost down and you could release expansion pack puzzle decks. You could use photoresistors to read the cards. The resistors are less than twenty cents a piece so this would keep your costs very low.</description></item><item><title>Wiki Page: LGBG Update: LCD and Gate image test</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/logic-gate-board-game/w/documents/2874/lgbg-update-lcd-and-gate-image-test</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Aug 2017 21:39:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:adee64ca-234b-4643-b103-a30eb4dc7a55</guid><dc:creator>makerkaren</dc:creator><description>element14&amp;#39;s The Ben Heck Show Join the Ben Heck team every week for amazing hacks! Watch them build and mod community-inspired projects using electronics! Back to The Ben Heck Show homepage Logic Gate Board Game Featured Bonus Content See All Episodes Ben is finding new and interesting ways to generate graphics for the logic gate board game. This just keeps getting more interesting. Here&amp;#39;s the prototype Ben is working with today. Want to help with the build? We are having to use a smaller screen than is desirable. This means our inputs will have to be smaller. I found magnetic bag clasps that are great, but they are a bit big. Now we&amp;#39;re looking for an alternative for connectors. Regular header pins are not durable enough nor large enough for a child to be able to manipulate them easily. So we need connectors that are around 1/8&amp;quot;-1/4&amp;quot; in diameter and easy to use. The kicker is that they have to be inexpensive in bulk and preferably SMD. We looked into using 3mm jacks like often used for audio cables. The problem is finding SMD jacks that mount perpendicular to the board rather than flush. Tricky tricky. Have any ideas?

I think the cost would work out similar when considering all the other components you won&amp;#39;t need to buy and source. They do offer bulk orders of the C.H.I.P Pro. Someone has figured out how to drive many different low cost LCDs (including up to 7&amp;quot; screens, possibly larger) and open-sourced the schematic (which includes an SD card adapter) and the code and also sells the board (called Tzatziffy II) all made up on his store the Chip Dip Shop. Going this route would make designing a GUI significantly easier and likely save on development time overall. There&amp;#39;s also enough GPIOs and SPI/UART left over to add some shift registers.</description></item></channel></rss>
