Month: May 2022

update:
1. the due date for Tomorrowland has been moved -again  to Monday, June 6th, halfway through final exam session.  As a result, your teachers have significant expectations for the quality of your completed project.
2. today, your group needs to include work on your TWO input buttons. Here are details from the project descriptor:
Each hex will be controlled by an Arduino with two buttons for visitors to push.  Each button will activate a different Arduino output.  Click here for full details on the Arduino requirements.

Click here for sample circuit and code for Arduino inputs (buttons).

Laser cutting and 3d printing:
Submit files for laser cutting or 3d printing at this link.    It’s ok to submit more than one file.

-files for 3d printing must be STL files an no larger than 8.5 x 9.5 inches
-files for laser cutting must be SVG files and no larger than 17.5×11.5 inches

The Tomorrowland page has sample code, circuit diagrams, sample tinkercad files and all kinds of other magic!

Everyone: submit your daily task plan for today. Either click here or use the QR code below.

today’s agenda:

1. During the last 30 minutes of class each group will meet with Mr. Milstead to show me your progress.  The rest of the groups may continue to work.
2. Everyone: submit your daily task plan for today. Either click here or use the QR code below.
   

3. group reps meet with Milstead at the beginning of class.
4. The Tomorrowland page has sample code, circuit diagrams, sample tinkercad files and the link to turn in files to Milstead for printing.

1. This Thursday we will have a group progress check in. Each group will setup their hex and show your progress. I don’t expect you to be done but I do expect evidence of real progress.

3. group reps meet with Milstead and Coach Alex at the beginning of class.
4. 3d prints:
   I need all groups to submit their 3d prints to this Google Form so that I can get them printed.  All you need to do is export an STL (not gcode) and follow this link.  Thanks!
5. Laser cuts – the laser cutter had an issue last Thursday so hold on to your designs for now.
6. The Tomorrowland page has sample code, circuit diagrams, sample tinkercad files and the link to turn in files to Milstead for printing.

1. group reps meet with Milstead and Coach Alex at the beginning of class.  If you have NOT nominated a group rep do it NOW.  Click here.  This is a graded assignment.
