Experiments

And now the fun part! Let’s dive into the experiments!

We recommend doing them in order:

1. Blinking an LED
   • Learn the basics of programming the Omega by turning an LED on and off.
2. Blinking Multiple LEDs
   • Learn some more programming concepts by controlling multiple LEDs at once.
3. Fading an LED
   • Create a cool LED fading effect using the pulse width modulation technique.
4. Reading a Switch
   • Use a physical switch to control an LED through the Omega.
5. Using a Shift Register
   • Use a shift register chip to control 8 LEDs using only a few GPIOs.
6. Controlling a Seven-Segment Display
   • Add a seven-segment display to the previous circuit to display numbers.
7. Reading a 1-Wire Temperature Sensor
   • Use a 1-Wire temperature sensor to read the ambient temperature.
8. Controlling LCD Screen
   • Use the I2C protocol to control an LCD screen attached to the previous circuit.
