Month: February 2022

Welcome back!

Here’s what we are working on:
Joystick LED control
Joystick Servo Intro
Two Servos and a Joystick
Arduino Drawbot Version 1
Arduino Drawbot Version 2

And now…a totally new sensor to work with: a Photoresistor.  Follow this link to learn about programming and wiring a photoresistor and using the sensor to turn LEDs on and off.

Next up: displaying photoresistor data on an LCD.

Did you complete this short Google Form – it’s a graded assignment: Arduino Project Ideas.

After you have completed both robot assignments and turned them in on Canvas:
Ultrasonic Robot and
Ultrasonic Robot with Functions

it’s time to disassemble your robot.  Feel free so spend a little more quality time with your robot, shoot one more video and then…

1. remove the wheels, servos, and remove the servo holders.  Sort them into the provided bins for re-use.
2. break down your Arduino, breadboard, wires and sensor and return those items to your kit/white box.

What’s next?  We move from servo control to motor control.  Click here for your first motor assignment. 

After your motor assignment, start with Arduino joystick control.

Then move through:
