<p>As you noticed after deciding what needed to come onto the board, I kinda left this assignment for what it was and moved on to other assignments. The result is that the input and

The code for this assignment was made - as usual - in Blockly. In the code you'll find the part where I declare the push button and what it needs to do. But basically what it does
is the same as in the hello world board. If you push the button, the lights go on. The special part that got added is the part where the tiltswitch comes in. My input sensor.

The tilt switch only goes on when you... tilt the board to one side or the other. Inside the switch (it are old) is a small ball that makes contact or doesn't make contact.

<p>The board of the input week does 2 things:

<li>If you push the button, the 2 LED's start burning </li>
<p>The in put here is the push button, and output the LED's</p>
<li>If you tilt the board a third LED starts burning</li>
<p>As extra input I used a tilt switch, but made it like that that you can change the input sensor. If you tilt the switch the little ball inside the switch goes rolling and
puts a LED high or low. I specifically used an old tilt switch because those are the easiest for kids to understand.</p>
<li>Fidget spinner and final project got merged</li>
<p>As you noticed, I started talking about a figdet spinner and how to develop that one myself, and then I went on to the final project. Somewhere along the way both projects got merged.
