Robot Art Show
From circuits, to electronics, to breadboard, and programming arduino kits, we developed a robot that would accomplish a task. The task could be anything that was entertaining, like playing a song, making a video on an lcd screen, play a game with a user and so on. My partner and I (Chase Mcandrew) made a video of our favorite sport-Baseball of course! We wrote a very complicated and long code( Attached below) that told the lcd screen to make two little guys, a baseball, and a bat. The video was one of the guys (the pitcher) throw a ball to the other guy ( the batter) and the batter hit the ball and the ball went back to the pitcher. That was our overall project, but the step to learn the information on how to code and setting up breadboards, we learned through the 16 different modules in the arduino kit. With breadboards, we set up resistors and LEDs with a 9 volt battery to do simple things like lighting up a light, or make it blink. At the end of the breadboard section, we took a test on what we learned. The task was to make a light blink with a certain 8 pronged resistor. The modules in the arduino kit taught us how to make a light, light up, make a song, write some words, and light rainbow patterns. Then we built our robot.
Micro Grid- Power Novato/San Marin
Before we designed our micro-grid, we designed a wind turbine, learned about electric fields, did an electromagnetic lab, and worked on motors.
Reflection
During this project, we collaborated with multiple people and we did 4 group projects. We designed a microgrid, a wind turbine, the arudino kit, setup LEDs on breadboards, and
