Question 1

What is the purpose of a pull-up resistor in a microcontroller circuit?

  • To ensure the pin is HIGH when not active
  • To increase the voltage of the pin
  • To decrease the current through the pin

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to a pin when a switch is opened.

Question 2

True or False: Setting P1.0 to LOW turns an LED on in a common cathode configuration.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the wiring and configuration of the LED.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a system that turns on an LED when a switch is pressed and turns it off when released. Describe the proper use of ports and pull-up resistors.

💡 Hint: Think about how you handle a switch press in your code.

Question 2

Write a C program using bitwise operations to track the state of three LEDs connected to P0. All LEDs should respond when only one button on P2 is pressed.

💡 Hint: Consider how you can shift states based on a single input.
