    Which outlining approach do you use? How does that reflect your approach to writing? Consider whether one of the other approaches might be more effective for you. I’ve used a point form outline that first defines the topics/paragraph....

    These exercises have more to do with simply drawing comparisons between the SIK kit and the exercises for the iRoomba, not so much on reading in depth material.

      Hi Darren,

      This is very informative as I wanted to increase my understanding of pull-up resistors. The SIK guide was brief in its discussion on this topic. I intially thought that the pin only contained 2 states but after going through the article, it appears to be 3 states: LOW, HIGH, and floating. The floating state was a surprise as I didn't realize that the pin can go randomly between LOW and HIGH. This tells me that if I'm using a pin with a pull-up resistor, then I should clearly define the pin state.

      Thanks for posting this link,

      Andrew
