Good morning – here’s today’s schedule:

  1. Review the Arduino assignment and Ulstrasonic sensors.

2. Marble Mazes- the printing continues.  I need the following to be modified and re-submitted for printing.  Click here for re-submitting instructions.

Patrick – remove the marble from your design and re-submit.

Maya – remove the marble from your design and re-submit.

If I haven’t printed your design let’s take a look together. 

 

3. Today’s Arduino work is to use an Ultrasonic Sensor in Tinkercad.

Click here for Arduino Ultrasonic Sensor Part 1

when you are finished, please move on to Ultrasonic Sensor Part 2

This is how the robot revolution begins – with uncontrollable dancing.
Looks like an Agibot X2.

Thanks for your patience on Wednesday with the assignment.

I made some changes from Wednesday:
-changed the due date to today so it’s not late for anyone
-posted a link to my tinkecad version of this circuit so you can see the code

What about Marble Mazes?
Thanks to the Falcon Foundation, we have a SECOND 3d printer.  It’s cranking away in the back room. Take a look!

Today’s goals:
1. finish up the Tinkercad version of your Servo LED Circuit

2. build a working, real life version of your Servo LED Circuit

3. test out your Marble Maze track if I have completed printing your file.

All –
1. Scroll to the bottom of today’s agenda to see the revisions needed for your Marble Track sections.
2. To get you warmed up for our return to Arduino programming, your next assignment is: Arduino Servo and Blinking LEDs
There are videos to support your in working on the assignment.

Max – remove the marble from your design and resubmit the STL to the Google form.

Sylvie – remove the marble from your design and resubmit the STL to the Google form.

Connor – the edge of the funnel makes contact with the wall before the magnets will touch.  Revise and resubmit.

Period 4: Dig into the Pocket Marble Maze

Period 5: Marble Tracks update:

I think I have printed all submitted marble tracks except for these that need some fine-turning.

When you clean off your marble tracks, throw all the plastic trees away.  Do not leave the plastic trees for me to clean up.

Quinn – revise spinner and support posts – let’s look at a square base for the funnel support posts.

Connor – the marble sphere is still in your print, high above the funnel.

Dillon – marble sphere still in print.

Today is all about your Marble Tracks

  1. Assignment review.
  2. Demo of the Tinkercad gravity feature that you will use to test your track.
  3. Talk to your uphill and downhill neighbors:
    -alignment of entry and exit for marble
  4. Work time on your design.
  5. Before you submit your design:
    -remove the marble
    -make sure that all parts of your design are attached
    -make sure that your design is flat on the build plate
    -THEN show me your design
