Feedback thread for day2/1_basic_io

Part 1

General

Some really nice concepts in here. I particularly like using the switches to stop the program. Here's a few pointers:

  • this is just a style thing, but: there's no need to have a new markdown cell for each paragraph. markdown will format this all for you in one cell.
  • probably best to have a diagram of an LED. here's a public domain one i found on wikipedia
  • still missing images throughout the notebook
  • i think certain concepts need to be explained a little deeper. things like loops and blinking leds were covered in Day 1 notebooks but it wouldn't hurt to reiterate these concepts.
  • make sure to use the backticks in markdown to emphasise variable names

Some grammatical notes:

  • " If you have dealt with basic I/O before bear with me as some of this will be review and there will be some simplifications made" - this is a super long sentence
  • "The second is from to the LED to the GND pin on the PYNQ board"
  • "Let's get more complicated. We also can set the num" ???

Part 2

General

very cool notebook. lot's of code for them to copy/paste

#14 should solve most of this. Thanks for the feedback
