QUESTIONS
   What mode do you use      What cathegories do you
    for programming the       used? What do they
        motherboard?                included?
                          MBLOQ
                              What do you have to do
      What does compile
                             to stablished the conexion
           mean?
                              with the mother board?

  4.-        DIGITAL SENSOR AND DIGITAL ACTUATOR
1.- Display on the screen the button values received through the serial port and
check that it works as expected.
 • What value do you receive when the button is pressed?
2.- Program the board using Mbloq. If the button is pressed, you have to sound a
buzzer.
 • What happens if you don't include the bloc forever?
3.- Load the program onto the board
 • Is it necessary to check (compile) the program before loading it onto the board?
 • What port are you connected to?
  5.-        ANALOG SENSOR AND DIGITAL ACTUATOR
1.- Display on the screen the light sensor values received through the serial port and
check that it works as expected. You must cover and light the sensor to see the
differences.
 • What is the highest value that you receive? When do you see it?
 • And the lowest one?
2.- Program the motherboard using Mbloq. If there is not light enough, you should
switch a LED on.
 • What are the main differences between programming a digital or an analogue
   sensor?
3.- Load the program onto the board
