This is the first assignment in a series where I build a simulated launch pad. In this section, I wrote a script to count down from 10 second to liftoff.
Wiring was not necessary for this assignment.
At first I had a hard time remembering the differences between the types of loops. A while loop runs until the condition is not longer satisfied, while a for loop runs for loop runs a specific number of times. A for loop was appropriate in this case, as I am always counting down from 10. I also had to look up the syntax for using the range function in a for loop. After some googling, I re-learned that the order is as follows: range(starting number, ending number, increment amount).
Write your assignment description here. What is the purpose of this assignment? It should be at least a few sentences.
Pictures / Gifs of your work should go here. You need to communicate what your thing does. If any aspect of the assignment included wiring, also include the wiring diagram here. The diagram should be clear enough that I can recreate the wiring from scratch.
Give me a link to your code. Something like this. Don't make me hunt through your folders, give me a nice link to click to take me there! Remember to COMMENT YOUR CODE if you want full credit.
What went wrong / was challenging, how'd you figure it out, and what did you learn from that experience? Your goal for the reflection is to pass on knowledge that will make this assignment better or easier for the next person. Think about your audience for this one, which may be "future you" (when you realize you need some of this code in three months), me, or your college admission committee!

Take several cropped screenshots of your Onshape document from different angles. Try to capture all important aspects of the design. Turn off overlays that obscure the parts, such as planes or mate connectors. Your images should have captions, so the reader knows what they are looking at!
Create a link to your Onshape document. Don't forget to turn on link sharing in your Onshape document so that others can see it.

Your readme will have various images and gifs on it. Upload a test image and test gif to make sure you've got the process figured out. Pick whatever image and gif you want!
