How to fade an LED on and off, control a servo, control a case fan with variable speed - In the Wokwi simulator, when you pause || the circuit that runs your {Python,} code, and then hover over a pin, it shows the pin state; high, low, - Makecode Arcade and TinkerCode are also a simulators that don't require actual devices ## Actual work tho, - https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-micromamba - [ ] Write a Dockerfile that installs your stuff - [ ] Make sure that your repo with an /environment.yml works with: ```sh pip install pipx; pipx install jupyter-repo2docker # or just: pip install jupyter-repo2docker jupyter-repo2docker --no-build --debug . jupyter-repo2docker --no-build --debug https://github.com/binder-examples/conda ``` - https://repo2docker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html - https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/sample_repos.html - https://github.com/binder-examples/conda _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list -- edu-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to edu-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/edu-sig.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
