Comments: SIK Experiment Guide for Arduino - V3.2

Simon Says experiment worked great, no issues. I used a regular size breadboard, moved the resistors out of the way of the buttons, placed a few surface wires to get all the jumper wires away from the buttons, and put the piezo on a separate small breadboard, all for easier use.

Be sure to look in the code, for the Yellow Button disco Easter egg! (As well as a 2-player game that is hidden in there as well.)

I think I'll try to solder up a permanent version of this, as a project to learn how to use standalone ATMega in a project.

Where can I buy wheels for attaching to this motor, please?

Arduino v1.6.6+ Software Issues

Arduino IDE v1.6.6-v1.6.9 was just released by Arduino.cc recently so there are a lot of bugs. A last resort is to use the Arduino v1.6.5 IDE [ https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases#previous ]. It might not be ideal but this was the last known stable/working IDE that I know of before all the changes.

Mac and Latest version of the Arduino IDE

I have seen two cases where customers have had problems uploading code to the RedBoard using Arduino v1.6.8 and v.1.6.9 . By switching to Arduino v.1.6.5, they were able to upload to the board without any issues.

You might need to re-install the latest FTDI drivers on a Mac https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ftdi-drivers/mac every time you re-install the Arduino IDE. In one case [where a customer had a Mac with Yosemite v10.10.5 ], you need to install the latest FTDI drivers before you are able to get the “SIK_Guide_Code_32" example code to work with the Arduino IDE.

Hello,

good project! I was wandering if it was important to use 330 ohm resistors and what is the difference if i used 220 ohm resistors.

thanks
