Well...... this was by far my worst directed task out of the ICT module. I tried, with 'tried' being the main word, to try and complete the traffic light mimic on the program. I found all the outputs, inputs and delays very hard to sequence. The different shapes, such as the 'start' shape were helpful and making them different shapes to fit onto a flow chart was very visual. This is definatly a positive to the program, especially as you can view the directions that have been set in the flow chart to the picture and test how it works. I could not get to grips with the timing though and really struggled, ending up feeling very frustrated.
I believe children may really enjoy this challenge, however it is one element that I found my head spinning. My traffic lights did not sync very well, therefore I would be very worried about the crashes that I may inflect if this system was truely put to the test. Definatly did not highlight a strength of mine....I now know that if i want to try another vocation, setting programs like this would definatly not be an option.
