2022 Summer Projects
Projects: Over the past few years, I have been constantly trying pursue my interests in the field of engineering. From trying out robotics to learning about 3D printing, I wanted...
A robot named 'Nibble' and Hiatus Announcement
Fun Fact: nib·ble (/ˈnibəl/) is a unit of data. In computing, a nibble is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade.
We got a 3D printer!
We purchased a 3D printer!!! I’m so excited. We are using the Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D printer for our robot endeavors. It’s an open source 3D printer so there’s...
Preparing to 3D print a prototyped chassis
Today, I continued to work on the chassis. I decided to use cardboard once again as I could not find a software to utilize my 3D-printer for this project. During...
Swapping out motorcontroller
Today I attempted to connect my motor and the L298N motor driver. I found out that I could keep the jumper and set the motor speed to be high or...
Prototyping a Chassis with Cardboard
Today, I started to work on building the foundation of my robot. I attempted building a potential design for how my robot would be structured. I planted my breadboard, Arduino,...
Purchasing the Robot's Eye-R's
Today, I experimented with the IR sensor. While experimenting with the sensor, I was able to see the limits of the accuracy of the sensor. From what I observed, I...
Liquid Crystal Display with Gyroscope Values
Today I worked with both the gyroscope and The LCD display. At first, I experimented with the gyroscope by checking the serial monitor. From the monitor, I saw that the...
Gyro and Sensors Galore!
Today I researched the importance of having sensors and the different types of sensors that can be used to aid the robot:
Softpot Membrane Sensor
Today I was able to experiment with a Softpot Membrane Sensor. I learned that the Softpot Membrane Sensor was very similar to that of the Flex sensor. Both sensors sends...
On-Off Photoresistor Circuit
Today I experimented with a photo resistor because it came in the kit and I wanted to know its capabilities and behaviors. I wanted to know I could potentially use...
Flexing with Flex Sensor
Today I was able to experiment with LED Lightbulbs with Flex sensors. I learned that Flex sensors are resistors. In this experiment, the output of the flex sensor is connected...
Playing with servo motor
Today, I learned to connect my uno to a breadboard with a potentiometer. Using the potentiometer, I was able to control the servo and have it spin. I also learned...
My parts arrived!
Today, my motor controller and other parts arrived. I now have LED’s, LCD displays, Piezo Speakers, wires, a servo motor, and 2 geared DC motors. I’m so excited to try...
Ooops, I need extra parts
Today, I realized that in order to make my motor run properly, I need a motor controller. I’m going to research to get a variety of extra part to test...
Intro to Arduino
Today, I started playing with the arduino. I tried connecting it with my computer and ran some testcodes to make the arduino blink. I played with a arduino uno. I...
