Critical Observation/Thinking (One paragraph) of the following:
Implement the design on Explorer 16 as Project 1. LED D10 will be used as the RUN LED indicator.
Write an application (in C) which does the following:
1. Make the RUN LED(D10) toggle at every 3.5 Seconds (exact) interval using one of the Timer (Timer 1) module of the Microcontroller.
2. The Knight Rider pattern now consists of 7 LEDs (D9-D3). If the switch (S3) is open, the pattern is from Left to Right direction. If the switch (S3) is closed, the pattern is from Right to Left direction.
3. Repeat the whole process in an infinite way.

Based on the given information, the critical observation is that this project involves implementing a design on the Explorer 16 development board. The design includes using LED D10 as the RUN LED indicator and controlling its toggle at a specific interval of 3.5 seconds using Timer 1. Additionally, there is a Knight Rider pattern involving 7 LEDs (D9-D3), with the direction of the pattern being determined by the state of switch S3 (open for left to right, closed for right to left). The process is desired to repeat infinitely. Overall, this project combines programming and hardware components to control LEDs and create a specific pattern.
