Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - Step 9 - Change and Save (EEPROM) the Distance Unit

The video tutorial explains how to allow users to toggle between centimeters and inches using a remote control. It covers defining units, creating a toggle function, and printing the correct unit on an LCD. The tutorial also demonstrates saving the selected unit to EPROM to retain settings after a restart. The process includes defining conversion factors and ensuring data validation when reading from EPROM.

What is the primary purpose of allowing users to toggle between centimeters and inches?

• To reduce memory usage

• To increase the speed of the program

• To provide flexibility in viewing measurements

• To change the computation method

Why is it important to define constants for distance units?

• To make the code more readable and maintainable

• To increase the execution speed

• To reduce the number of variables

• To allow for dynamic unit changes

What is the initial default unit when the program starts for the first time?

• Feet

• Centimeters

• Millimeters

• Inches

What is the benefit of using a function to toggle distance units?

• It simplifies the user interface

• It increases the program's execution speed

• It reduces the number of lines of code

• It allows for easy addition of new units in the future

Which button is used to toggle the distance unit?

• Menu button

• Volume button

• Power button

• EQ button

Why is it recommended to use defines for conversion factors?

• To make the code more readable and easier to update

• To increase the program's speed

• To reduce the number of variables

• To allow for dynamic conversion changes

How does the program ensure the correct unit is displayed on the LCD?

• By converting all computations to inches

• By toggling the unit only when printing

• By using a switch statement

• By hardcoding the unit

What is the role of EPROM in this program?

• To reduce memory usage

• To store temporary data during execution

• To save the user's last selected unit for future use

• To increase the program's speed

What happens if the EPROM read value is invalid?

• The program ignores the value

• The user is prompted to select a unit

• The default unit is set to centimeters

• The program crashes

What should be done before writing to EPROM frequently?

• Use a serial print to ensure correct timing

• Check the battery level

• Clear the EPROM

• Restart the program
