Before Moving On
Make sure your circuit and code from this lesson work reliably before continuing to the next episode. Save your code so you can build on it in later lessons.
What’s Next?
In Lesson 14, you’ll add an ultrasonic sensor, calculate distance, and program your Magic Box to open automatically when someone approaches.
