=== Forword ===
  * Checking attendance
  * Ars Electronica overview, Linz, Austria
  * Please add your code examples using the "Code Blocks" tool. It lets you post code snippets using the the Visual Editor or Text Editor. => quick demo
  * EDS Movie Night (tonight, 8pm): //Metropolis// in the Engineering Design Studio (A5, 015)

Variables using Arduino:
  * [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/BooleanVariables|boolean]] – A boolean holds one of two values, true or false. Each boolean variable occupies one byte of memory.
  *  [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Byte|byte]] – A byte stores an 8-bit unsigned number, from 0 to 255.
  * [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Int|int]] – Integers are your primary data-type for number storage.
  * [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Long|long]] – Long variables are extended size variables for number storage, and store 32 bits (4 bytes), from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
  * [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Char|char]] – A data type that takes up 1 byte of memory that stores a character value. Character literals are written in single quotes, like this: 'A' (for multiple characters - strings - use double quotes: "ABC").

== Assignment ==
  - From last week: Expanding on your initial switch, make a program with the Arduino that combines multiple digital inputs and outputs
  - Get information from an analog sensor and use it to control an LED in an unexpected way.
