Carol plays with code changes. Taking the time to set up our computers before our Arduino group gathers really paid off. We were ready jump right in and work through the excellent little Sparkfun Inventor's Kit booklet one project at a time. Chris Connors supervised, gave advice, and encouraged us to explore the options in the code once we set up a project. We played with LED light sequences, sound sequences, and blinking speed.
