Servo back and forth on tinkercad

Today we practiced wiring up a servo and Arduino using tinker cad and we also learned where to find out own starter code!

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup() {

myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object

}

void loop() {

for (pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) { // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees

// in steps of 1 degree

myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'

delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position

}

for (pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) { // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees

myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'

delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position

}

Servo back and forth

In order to make my servo work I had to get a red and black wire , plug the red wire in 5V then plug the black one in ground for the 3rd wire I plugged it into 9D so I plugged the cord into my computer then put the code into Arduino then pressed verify then upload and it worked

Two servos back and forth

I basically did the same thing I did with the first servo moving back and forth I plugged the red and black wires behind the first red and black wire and I also did the same with the 3rd wire.

IMG_0617.MOV

Two independently functioning servos

In order to make it move independently you have to modify the code. I learned that 0 is the max speed the servo goes to the left and 180 is the max speed the servo goes to the right to make it stop you place a 90 in the brackets.

Code two independently functioning servo

#include <Servo.h> // this refers to a "library" that knows how to control servos

Servo myservo; // defines a "servo" objec and names it "myservo"

Servo secondservo; // defines a "servo" object and names it "secondservo"

//int pos = 0;

void setup() {

myservo.attach(9); // attach the "servo" object named "myservo" to pin 9

secondservo.attach(10); // attach the "servo" object named "secondservo" to pin 9

}

void loop() {

myservo.write(0); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

secondservo.write(180); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

// in order to make the servo go clockwise at full speed use "180" as the number

delay(500);

myservo.write(90); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

secondservo.write(90); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

delay(500);

}

Servos are powered by batteries only

Before I started wiring the actually Arduino I had to set the wires up in tinker cad so I can get a idea of how the actual thing should look. When I finished the tinker cad I started to wire the actual Arduino placing the wires and it started to run on batteries.

Create a stable prototype robot body (carboard)

So this time instead of coding we started to build the robot so I started by gathering materials such as cardboard, tape, and wood wheels. So I cut the cardboard into a small plank so I can fit my battery, servo and breadboard then I hot glued the battery, breadboard and the servo together then I plugged the battery cord in the breadboard.

Forward backwards left right

I made it move forward, backwards, left and right by modifying my code in order to make it move forwards I had to put 180 , 0 in the code in order for it to move backwards I placed 0,180 in the code for left and right I put 180, 180 for left and 0, 0 for right.

Code for backward forward left right

void setup() {

leftservo.attach(9); // attach the "servo" object named "myservo" to pin 9

rightservo.attach(10); // attach the "servo" object named "secondservo" to pin 9

}

void loop() {

leftservo.write(0); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

rightservo.write(180); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

// in order to make the servo go clockwise at full speed use "180" as the number

delay(5000);

leftservo.write(180); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

rightservo.write(0); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

delay(5000);

leftservo.write(180); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

rightservo.write(180); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

delay(5000) ;

leftservo.write(0); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

rightservo.write(0); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

delay(5000) ;

leftservo.write(90); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

rightservo.write(90); //make the "servo" object named "myservo" rotate at full speed counterclockwise

delay(5000) ;

}

traverse a predesigned path

This was a very challenging process I had to face many trials and errors to make my robot traverse a path I had to test my robot making go back and forth to figure out how to make it go the amount of distance and time for it to move through the lines correctly.

Ultrasonic sensor

In order to make the ultra sonic sensor work I had to modify function and ultra sonic code and merge them together then I had to follow the wiring instructions on Arduino library. When I finished wiring I went to serial monitor to make sure the sensor worked then put my hand in front of it and watched avoid my hand.

Gear Box

So a gear box has a parent and a child the parent drives the child and the child is being driven so the parent is attached to the servo which makes it move they're also know as driven and drive gears.

ultrasonic sensor

#include <Servo.h> // incude in any code that incudes servos

//sensor define

const int trigPin = 4;

const int echoPin = 3;

// defines variables

long duration;

int distance;

Servo rightservo; //define a servo object and names it "firstsrevo"

Servo leftservo; // definded a "secondservo"

// int pos = 0;

void setup() {

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input

Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication

rightservo.attach(9); //taches servo obecect to pin 9

leftservo.attach(10);

}

void foward() {

rightservo.write(180); //servo "firstsrevo" rotates full speed couter clockwises

leftservo.write(0); //in order to make the servo go clockwise at full speed use 180 as number

}

void backwards() {

rightservo.write(0); // 180 foward 0 backwards for robot

leftservo.write(180); //0 fowrds 180 back

}

void left() {

rightservo.write(0); // 180 foward 0 backwards for robot

leftservo.write(0); //0 fowrds 180 back

}

void right() {

ROBOT RACE

In this course we had to traverse a specific path to get through the course we had to avoid walls in order to not loose points and it was easy over all it help me get better with using my robot on dabble

TABLE SAW

so with the table saw you have to follow the rules in green and DO NOT use the rules in red

wear safety goggles don't be in front of the saw blade make sure you clean up your area so you don't trip make sure to unplugged the things when your done

across cut with rip fence stand right in front of the blade operate with gloves on leave it plugged in operate with tripping hazards in the area

Planer

it removes material from the top of he materials to preform three functions

1reduce the thickness of your materials

2 make the material a uniform thickness

3 make your material smooth nice

Do wear ear protection near 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

Don't put fingers near the opening pass any material but wood through the planer pass wiped wood nail setscrews through the planer

miter saw

what it does : it cuts across the length of the wood this type of cut is called a cross cut!

1) it can also cut at angles (used to make frames for example).

DO : 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 hands 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

biscuit jointer

What it does cuts biscuit shaped holes on your material so that you can assemble your parts to be both perfectly aligned and sturdy once you biscuit you give your parts together creating what is called a glue up

Do wear safety glasses make sure it is set for the apporiatie size of biscuit make sure you set the height in the middle of the material mark both sides of the material clamp a block in front of material each time

DONT DO

put your fingers near the blade when it is plugged in assume the blade wont come cut of the material

CNC Machine

it uses input from a cad file to cut or carve parts / pieces this is our most expensive tool

Do , run the dust collector , vacuum after use, wear ear protection , wear safety glasses , secure your material with screws or clamps , design around your screw

Don't leave the cnc while it is running don't go near the gantry while it is running

orbital sander

Use/function: smoothes out flaws and prepares wood for staining smooth out wood surfaces

DO wear safety glasses keep your sander moving at all times be careful not place sander on your skin

Don't operate the sander without asking first the teacher touch the sand paper while the sander is operational put the sander on the surface that can be damaged by the sander

Wood staining expectations

Do - wear gloves , always stain over a drop cloths, put a small amount of stain on your rag , use cotton cloth to apply stain

Don't mix stains , leave staining materials cut always put them away leave stain rags out leave them in your container

Miter saw

i had to cut pieces to make them smaller so I could prepare it for the miter saw it was a process of push and cut easy and simple

planer

it was a process of push and pull all we needed to do was push the wood through the machine and it came out like this

table saw

Onshape

electronic lock

is it possible to make in class ? this is a electronic lock that uses a keypad to put in a password. it is possible to make in class if your have to supplies. so basically there's a push button that is on each row of the columns pressing the button will connect the row to the column so the row are made up of 0 which is the output and the columns are made up of 1 and its the input so pressing the button will set the column to 0 then the rows will be scanned by a digital 1 to determine which column was pressed

does it meet the requirements? yes indeed

combination lock

is it possible to make in class ? yes it is possible to make in class we have access to all the materials he used in the video he used drill he used a laser cutter to cut out the pieces that was need to make the lock and he used glue and clamping .

does it meet the requirements? yes indeed

wooden lock

is it possible to make in class? yes it is because we have a table saw he used wood glue as well and everything else he showed in the video we have in the class room and also it didn't take him as long as the other videos to make it quick easy and simple and also effective

does it meet the requirements? yes indeed

is it possible to make in class Intractable you will find printing notes, assembly steps, instruction on how to pick and set a combination number, how it works and some of the challenges I encountered in designing this.

All 3D printed, fully functional, changeable combination, Pad Lock.
Combination can be changed to nearly any 3 digit 0 thru 9 combination.
Fun and educational for kids (and adults), but I wouldn't trust my life savings with it.

yes it meets the requirements

materials needed and video

he explains how to make it and also the things that should be used to make it it

prototype

i made a few parts like the bolt the case im starting on the key its almost done took alot of glue n and cutting

IMG_0596.MOV

Prototype video

i manage to make the lock work i shorten the key so I make it more smooth win i put it in a bull it out i also made it thicker

IMG_0554.MOV

IMG_0599.MOV

Class lock

So this is the lock we made in class we had glue on certain parts to get it functional we had to make sure all the routers aligned in order to unlock and you twist knob and it slides in and slides out.

Porotype demonstration

So in the video I explain how the lock works and the key things I need and how the lock works

day 1

So this was the first carboard prototype it is a wooden lock it mechanical it requires a rotor a key and the pins I had to make a board for the case to stand up on so it can lock the box and keep it from opening

day 2

these was all the parts of my lock it included the case, tumbler and lock casino I put it in the glow forge and laser cut it i had to first make the design in the on shape

day 3

this is the laser cut cardboard of the case I made the design in on shape and then used the laser cutter to cut it out then i hot glued the pieces together I had to get it approved so i could move on to the wooden version

day4

this is my key that is made out of wood it had to use on shape to create the design and the laser cutter had cut it out for me I had to make it a certain size to make sure it fit with the rotor

day5

this is the designs I made on on shape i had to use wood in the glow forge had to cut them out at certain sizes it was a process i had to go back and forth plenty of times but I managed

day 6

this is my fully finished lock i glued it to the top of the led so it could stay i cut a hole in the box for the rotor to fit through and so the key could reach the rotor i moved it closer to the end of the led i also made a plank to catch the rotor so it could lock

IMG_0785.MOV

video for final lock

This is the video of my final presentation I had to present to MS white and show how it works and she also tested it out

What is machine Learning? Artificial intelligence systems are used to perform complex tasks in a way that is similar to how humans solve problems.

The goal of my model ?

my model is attempting to identify a hair p ,soda can, phone and a jacket it suppose to identify this correctly i call them the 4 items

can

phone

pick

jacket

the computer took 1000 of pictures of my items it also have 48 by 48 pixels in each image

Labeled images

can

phone

sweatshirt

hairpick
