Engineering I

Use the Arduino board to simulate an electrical process that you see/use. For example, use a button to simulate a crosswalk button, set up a working stop light that would then change when the button is presses and a buzzer to simulate the beeping sound, could add the LCD screen to show walk and don’t. (Can’t use this example).

Required components:

1. Must use one component we haven’t used in class (could be input or output)

Must have 3 functioning parts.

2. Must use at least one input.

3. Must have 2 different types of conditional statements (if, while, for)

4. Must show use of variables

Written part:

1. Use google docs for this part.

2. Show your design cycle. Place some emphasis on your planning and your iteration (especially of your code). Every time you plug it in and load code that is a test, what happened? How did you fix or change it if there was an issue?

Observe: Research, look at what constraints you have and the supply list.

Brainstorm: Work together to come up with ideas. What circuits could you make?? Diversity of ideas is how we create something great. Remember no idea is a bad idea!! Be respectful of each other as you go through this process. Record all of your ideas

Compare: Compare the designs and decide which you think will work best. Record and tell why you chose that design.

Make: Create your prototype/final product. Fill in the chart with the supplies you purchase.

Repeat: Record changes you make, new sketches etc. Make any changes to the chart for any additional purchases.

Servo/Robotic Arm

Control your servo with sensors -- create a program so that when the button is pushed it will turn the servo to 180 degrees and when you let go to 0 degrees -- show me when complete

create a program so that when the flex sensor is flexed you can map the numbers between the flex sensor and the servo to make the servo go to a certain angle based on how much the flex sensor is flexed -- show me when complete
