Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1.3, Problem 13CP
Explanation of Solution
Tiny switch that can be set either “on” or “off”:
Binary numbers are important for computer processing and can be represented with two digits such as 0 and 1.
- • Each 0 or 1 in the binary number is also called a bit.
- • All the operations and calculations are performed by the computer either in ON or OFF position.
- • The tiny switch that can be set to be either “on” or “off” is called as a bit.
- • A bit can be used to represent the numbers...

Arduino programming exercises using Uno Microcontroller
Write a program that lights a green LED attached to pin 3. The green LED should turn off after a button attached to pin 4 has been pushed and released 3 times. Each time the button is pushed it will turn on a red LED attached to pin 7 and turn off a yellow LED attached to pin 9. When the button is not pushed the red LED will be off and the yellow LED will turn on. Assume the button is wired active low.
Turn on green LED
Leave it on
Turn on yellow LED
Leave it on
Check the state of the button
If the button is pressed
Add 1 to a counter variable
Turn off yellow LED
Turn on red LED
After the button is pressed, turn on yellow LED, turn off red LED
If the counter is 3 or more (>2)
Turn off green LED
What happens if the timer runs out and you have to switch to another software as a result?
