Lesson 8: Compound Conditionals and If Statements in MicroPython

This tutorial covers using a potentiometer to control three LEDs with the Raspberry Pi Pico W and addresses a critical logical error:

  • Homework Solution Review: Recap of identifying a logical flaw in the LED control code.

  • Logical Error Explanation: Discusses the error where LED states overlapped, stressing the need for mutually exclusive conditions.

  • Real-World Example: Demonstrates the importance of avoiding logical errors through a UV sterilization scenario.

  • Compound Conditionals: Introduces using AND/OR operators to create precise, non-overlapping conditions.

  • Circuit Setup and Code: Detailed wiring and corrected code for LED control.

  • Practical Demonstration: Shows the corrected code in action with proper LED behavior.

  • Next Steps: Preview of the next Lesson on simulating analog output.
