# Open the button example (File->Sketchbook->Examples->Digital->Button)
# Connect your switch circuit to on if the digital I/O pins, and change <code>inputPin</code> in the button program to this number. (Mine is Pin 7)
=== Loop ===
* Connect multiple LED outputs.
* Compile, upload, and run the loop example.
* Change the behavior of the loop: how about instead of equal on/off timing, change it in some other way.
* Can you make the loop run through a series of meaningful states, rather repeating a simple on/off behavior.
=== Extend these concepts ===
* Idea of encoding information.
** Serial code (Morse Code). Message transmitted in Binary, over time.
** Set up a time-varying signal with one LED?
* Idea of responding to input.
* Framing: how does the meaning of a thing change through context. LEDs surround us, everywhere, to indicate all kinds of things. "Record" light on a camera. Warning light.
** what novel package or "frame" could change the meaning of a thing.
* ASSIGNMENT: Quick Thought/Lab experiment for next week: After getting the examples working, extend them in some way. Through...
** multiple different inputs.
** multiple different outputs.
** time-varying signal. (code).
** something more exotic... start to think about contextualization, packaging, framing... (more of sculptural approach)
