Arduino MLA-Formatting Machine

*Picture shows one of the problems below: " ' " does not show on certain computers*

There are tons of different types of formats to choose from when composing an essay, MLA formatting is one of the most commonly used formats, especially for students.

*Disclaimer: The following MLA formatting Machine originated from https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Leonardo-ML... with only a subtle change in the code.*

The new Arduino MLA Formatting Machine includes a pop-up window that shows indentation options by coding a new line that uses the "help" located on the upper-middle part of a Google Docs paper. The "indentation options" button provides a way to check whether or not every line is indented once you press "first line" under special indentations.

In addition, the "Your Teacher's Full Name" that was originally printed as part of the heading is changed to "Full Name of your teacher", since the " ' " mark does not work on certain computers.

Just like the original machine, this new Arduino MLA-formatting machine

1. works only on Google Docs.

2. DOES NOT WRITE YOUR PAPER FOR YOU but merely formats it.

3. Does not format works cited pages and in-text citations

4. Does not set margins (not all institutes require margins)

Materials:

1x Arduino Leonardo Board

7~8x Jump Wires

1x MicroUSB cable

1x Button

1x 1K Ω Resistor (the blue one if you use livinbox)

Optional: 1x Container to put your Arduino in so the cables won't look messy

Set up the circuit according to the pictures above. Make sure you've

1. Connected GND with D4.

2. Connected 5v to the positive row marked with "+", connected GND to the negative row "-".

3. Connected (on the same column) your resistor, one side of the button, and D2, make sure it connects back to GND (meaning the negative row mentioned above, must add another line connecting the negative row to the column mentioned above).

4. Engineered your circuit according to the pictures.

Program your Arduino! If you've done this step and the previous one correctly, your machine should work!

The code is given (originated from https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Leonardo-ML... and changed by me).

Those I have changed I have noted with "改"

Embedded:

Find a container for your Arduino so your Arduino doesn't look so messy!

Remember to dig two holes for the box, one for the MicroUSB cable to connect your device with the board and one for the button so you'll be able to start formatting.
