Get your built in LED to blink faster and slower

I lowered the sleep time to a decimal to make it faster(.5) and made it higher(2) when i wanted it to blink slower

Get your Pico to blink and external LED

We used a code for the external LED, saved it, and switched the light from internal to external. We put the short nd in the GND and the long end in G14. We used MU editor to put the code in

Create a Stop light

We used wires, LEDs, and and a Pico board. We received 6 more wires and 3 LED lights colored red, yellow and green . I pluggers in the three wires into GP11 GP12, the yellow light connected to Gp14, and the green light connected to three different GPDs on the motherboard. I plugged in the code into MU editor and the lights started the stop light patter. Green Yellow Red then Red Yellow Green.

SPP final choice

To begin I chose 1 out of the 4 shapes I drew above. I choe the top right one and altered it a litte. I drew the horizon and a vanishing point. I use a ruler to make an abstract shape and made sure they connected

4pp sketch

To begin, I had to draw a horizon line and a vanishing point. I used the ruled to make abstract shapes and make sure they had corners connected to them using the vanishing point.

Cut list

We took our original shape from above and took all the shapes and drew them. After drawing our shapes we counted the boxes per inch. 1 box = 1 inch.These faces will help us make a prototype for my geometric motin lamp.

Cut out all your parts according to you cut list

I doubled the measurements from the image above. Traced them on cardboard then cut them out with sisorres

Assemble your cardboard prototype with type

After cutting out by cardboard pieces I assembled all the pices together to make my shapeu

Laser cutter Do's and Don't

Laser cutter steps:

Create your file in Onshape
Right click on the file (or sketch) and click export to DXF.
Open the Inkscape Software
Open your file in Inkscape
Save your file to another filename (SVG filetype)
Login to Glowforge (create your account if needed).
Click Create New
Click Upload
Select your file
For Material select ⅛” corrugated cardboard.
Under Proofgrade Cut, Speed should be set to 440.
Make sure your drawing is on top of the material (within the limits of the material).
Click Print.
Push the blinking button on the glowforge.
Monitor the glowforge for the duration of the cut for fire.
Remove your material with the cuts.

Laser cut assemble

We used a laser cutter to cut out our desing from inkscape. Then we used the tape to assemble it and leaving a whole for it at the top.

Laser cut

The image above is my desin from inscape in the laser cutter.

Inkscape

We used inscape to make our design with the exact measurements that we use and upload to glow

Band Saw Box

We are earning how to make bandsaw boxes and about tools that will be used in class.

This unit will teach us how to use tools safety

We will show all the skills we learned from this unit. The bandsaw boxes we create will be used to show mastery.

Bandsaw

A band Saw is a power saw with a long, sharp blade consisting of a continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two or more wheels to cut material.

Do's

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

ADJUST THE BLADE GUARD TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE MATERIAL HEIGHT BEFORE EACH USE.

CUT SLOWLY.

WHEN PULLING MATERIAL THROUGH BACKWARDS AFTER A CUT, GO VERY SLOWLY.

CLEAN AS YOU GO /

VACUUM AFTER USING

DONTS

LEAVE MORE THAN THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF BLADE EXPOSED.

LEAVE THE SAW OPERATING AND STEP AWAY FROM THE SAW.

USE THE SAW WITHOUT FIRST ASKING TEACHER

DISTRACT YOUR PEERS WHO ARE OPERATING THE SAW OR ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISTRACTED WHILE OPERATING!

Planer saw

A planer saw is used to smoothen and even the wood. It is a woodworking machine used to trim boards to a consistent thickness

DO

WEAR EAR PROTECTION

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

ADJUST THE CUTTING THICKNESS TO WITHIN 1/16” OF THE MATERIAL THICKNESS PRIOR TO CUTTING

UNPLUG WHEN FINISHED

ATTACH THE VACUUM BEFORE USE

DONT

PUT FINGERS NEAR THE OPENING

PASS ANY MATERIAL BUT WOOD THROUGH THE PLANER

PASS WOOD WITH NAILS/SCREWS THROUGH THE PLANER

Orbital Sander

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

KEEP YOUR SANDER MOVING AT ALL TIMES.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO PLACE SANDER ON YOUR SKIN.

Don't

DON’T

OPERATE THE SANDER WITHOUT FIRST ASKING THE TEACHER.

TOUCH THE SAND PAPER WHILE THE SANDER IS OPERATIONAL.

PUT THE SANDER ON SURFACES THAT CAN BE DAMAGED BY THE SANDER

Planer Saw #1

We used the planer saw to smoothen and even all sides of the plank. One thing I learned is to always remember to plug up the vacuum.

Bandsaw box glue up

After cutting the piece of wood we glued together the two pieces and we put a clamp on it after.

Miter saw

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

FIRMLY SECURE THE MATERIAL WITH YOUR HAND OUTSIDE OF THE HAND PLACEMENT LINE AND UP AGAINST THE FENCE

VACUUM AFTER USE.

UNPLUG THE SAW (IN THE CLASSROOM) AFTER USE.

REDUCE EXPOSURE TO BLADE.

Don't

TOUCH OR MANUALLY MOVE THE BLADE GUARD

CUT MATERIAL THAT REQUIRES YOUR HAND TO BE INSIDE OF THE HAND PLACEMENT LINE (MATERIAL IS TOO SHORT FOR THIS APPLICATION).

PLUG IN THE SAW WITH THE CORD ACROSS THE BODY

MEASURE WHILE MATERIAL IS ON THE SAW

Orbital Sander Demo

We smoothed the sides of the box with the orbital sander

Before-Stencil Spray Demo

This is when we spray painted our stencils

After- Stencil Spray Paint Demo

After spray painting our stencil we waited about 20 minutes to carefully pull it off for our results.

Sating Do's and Don'ts

Do's

-wear apron and gloves

-conserve stain

-hammer down lid to close and use flathead screwdriver to open

Don'ts

-horseplay

-go against the patter in he box

3D Printer

A 3D printer makes a digital design into a physical one using layers of melted material such as plastic.

What to do:

Select the file that belongs to you
Make sure the name is something you remember
Be sure to save it to the SD card
Add support to where it is needed in your design

What not to do:

Touch the bed while figure is printing (it is hot)
Touch nozzle while figure is printing (it is hot)
Touch the figure while it is being printed, you could mess up the design

Stencil documentation 1,2&3

Here are all the steps I did for my stencil. I first cut out the letters with my hands. Then I take the white sheet of the stencil and placed it on my box to spray paint.

Spray Paint Name

Here is what the box looked like after spray painting. When using the spray paint I had to be sure to use one layer and not too much paint.

Before Cutting Drawers and Perimeter

Before we used the bandsaw, our boxed something like this. We measured 3/8 of an inch on the top and sides

After Cutting Drawers and Perimeter

After cutting we ended with 4 pieces. There are two sides and a lid that will be apart of the box

Bandsaw box Inside Cut Out

I used the bandsaw to receive the result shown to the left. I had to turn the box, making sure to do this slowly so that the blade could correctly cut out the shape.

Plan out your light pattern

This is pattern #1. The code is *=light up and the circle= not light up. First, the sides light up while the middle is off. Then the middle lights up and the sides turn off. This will be repeated 3 times

Plan out your light pattern

This is pattern #2.The code is *=light up and the circle= not light up. The 2nd patter is that the whole thing lights up then the whole thing turns off.This will be repeated 3 times

Plan out your light pattern

This is pattern #3. The code is *=light up and the circle= not light up. As you can see from the image the left side first lights up then the right side lights up. This will be repeated 3 times

Draw a Coaster Design

The image to the left shows how I want my coaster design to do. The whole coaster is 3 3/4. The shaded part in the picture is walnut wood and the blank is the pine wood. The big part is 18/8 and the rest of the 4 small pieces are equal to 3/8.

Coaster Wood Cut

Here on the left my wood pieces glued together. I had to cut this wood with a table saw. The pine wood on the farthest left measurement is 2 2/4 and the rest is 5/16. After I cut all my pieces together I glued all my pieces together screwed them together with clamps.

Cut on Table saw

After the glued wooden pieces dried, I used the table saw to cut four pieces. Each piece is a coaster. The measurements were 3 3/4in by 3 3/4in.

Glossing my Coaster

This is the supplies I used to gloss my coaster

These are my coasters after glossing them

Final Coaster

This is my final product. To complete my project I added wood finish and sanded my coaster to complete it.
