Month: March 2019

Project info:

Your project is due at the end of class on Thursday.  That means you have today (Tuesday) and Thursday to complete your project.  Mr. Milstead will also be in the Engineering room during tutorial on Wednesday.

Your poster is due on Monday, April 1st.  This is to be done outside of class.

You DO NOT have to have a laser cut or 3d printed part for this project.   This has been removed from the project as of last Tuesday.

BREAKING NEWS – We have removed the CAD/CAD requirement from the Input/Output simulation.  This means no laser cut or 3d printed part is required. Your focus will be on programming, circuit building and creating the structure of your simulation.

IF you want to include a 3d printed or laser cut component I still need it by the end of day on Friday, March 22nd to get it done in time.

This project is due at the end of class on Thursday, March 28th.  Your poster is due in class on Monday, April 1st.

today:
1. make progress on your Input/Output Simulation.  Before you start building you have to complete your program and build a circuit on a breadboard for this project.

2. Next priority is a CAD/CAM component.  I need this no later than Friday, March 22nd.  Ideas include: a laser cut keypad for your microwave, a fake dial for a blender, a 3d printed airplane for your airport…ask for ideas.

3. Worktime is available during Wednesday’s tutorial in room 127.

Resources:

submit your 3d print file – make sure that is is an STL file or it won’t be printed.
click here to learn how to save as an STL file

submit your laser cut file – make sure that it is saved as a PDF or it won’t be cut.

It’s Mr. Varvil’s last day.  Be sure to visit and wish him well.

today:

1. Review the Input/Output Simulation
2. Finish Stoplight by the end of class today

Arduino assignments:
Due 2/26 Blink countdown

Due 3/14 Stoplight

New skill – programming servos to make thing move

Due 3/28 Input/Output Simulation
Planning Sheet due by the end of class today.
Poster due Monday, 4/1 – to be completed outside of class (no joke)

BONUS material – Piezo buzzer

today:

Welcoming Jim Davis.

1. Create an Arduino stoplight.  Click here for details.  Print out your completed code AND show Mr. Milstead your working circuit.
2. After you have had success with the stoplight, work with servos.  Click here for servo programming and circuit building.
3. Show Mr. Milstead your servo work and then he will get you started on your next project.

For the group in room 127:
We will talk about using inputs to trigger an output using your Arduino.  This has two parts:
1. modify your Blink Countdown program to work ONLY when a button pressed.

2. add a button circuit to your breadboard.

Part 1: the code- we will work on that together.

Part 2: the circuit – adding an input.

Group 1 – finish the program we started on Tuesday.  Please scroll down to the Tuesday class agenda to see all the details. I am ready to help.  After you print out your completed code please join Mr. Varvil for wiring and soldering.

Group 1 -if you finish wiring with Mr. Varvil please grab your Arduino, board and wires.

Part 1: Program your stoplight – create a program for your stoplight so that the
Part 2: add a button to your stoplight – details here.

Group 2 – welcome to Arduino programming.  I will give each of you a starter handout to begin your programming work.  Follow the handout to start your program and ask me questions as needed.  You will need you Arduino and breadboard.
