This was one of the most complicated programming challenges we have done and we had to learn a lot about how light dependant resistors and voltage dividers. We also learnt about the benefits of planning your code out on paper first before diving in on this project as it look lots of rewrites to get it finally working.</p><p style="margin:0;padding-top:12px;color:#007fac;font-size:15px;"><strong>Questions or comments?&nbsp; Leave them below and I&#39;ll get back to you!</strong></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: vcp_microbit, microbit, fidget spinner speed test, bnorman, vcp program, micromonsters</div>
