Any time you add anything I (Niall) get a notification. Hopefully I should respond fairly quickly, but if Im in lesson, or its 3am please be patient! As this is public everyone can see what is written, therefore the more questions the more help it is for all! 

Hope you enjoy and find this resource useful!

A. No, this is just a suggestion. Your work does need to be presented as a leaflet however so if you use different software please ensure it is in leaflet formatting

--------------
A. I am assuming this is in reference to task 1? There are two instances where you are required to do this, first for the line tracker, secondly for the train crossing. On the task list it goes in order of the tasks as they appear in the assignment. Tasks 1-7 relate to the light sensor. 8-10 the train crossing

-----------
A: Yes I am happy for you to use a table! The information here is what I am interested in more than the format,

-------
A. Yes, the assignment does specify "For each of these applications you need to prepare an information leaflet" however I will accept one for both aslong as there is sufficient information

-------------
A. Yes, remember there is a skill to writing in that you can just waffle on and not really get to the point. I am not looking for a word count, you just write enough to cover the task/criteria. Once you are happy you have done enough then you probably have!

A. If you were here last Friday, you should have a table that will list some that we came up with in the group. If you do not have this, or were not present ask if anyone is willing to share their table with you.

A. You dont have too, but if you are making a leaflet for this I would expect to see one or something similar]]> 2017-10-20 10:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/niall_oreilly99/5tfbqmhmysi1/wish/198993080 niall_oreilly99 https://padlet.com/niall_oreilly99/5tfbqmhmysi1/wish/199479893 ----------------
A. Good question! The best thing to do with the mole mash code is to spend a bit of time figuring out what each section does. Once you have done this, ask yourself. Does this block create a loop? if so what is the condition of the loop. For the variable ask yourself, does this change the data stored by the game?

In the quote "Explain the features and benefits of automated systems", what sort of features are we expected to explain? Also, do we need to explain the disadvantages for a balanced argument, or not?

Thanks in advance!
----------
A. No you are not required at this point to explain the disadvantages. The benefits can be generic, i.e automated systems can work time and time again with the same outcome. If you mention benefits of a specific system, please mention this

------
A. Yes please, you are required to submit code for a control system (line tracker) and one for a simple program (mole mash)

Good question! I have 15 working days to return your results to you so you can expect these returned to you on, or before, 24/11,
