Stamp Sheet for electrical
Stamp Sheet for physical
I used MU Editor to upload my code. I used my code to get the light on my pico to blink faster or slower. The video shows how I change the speed of the light blinking. The higher the number, the more time per blink, the shorter the shorter per blink.
I used my wires to connect my led to my motherboard. I used a usb to connect my motherboard to my computer. After uploading my code, I ran the code and got my led to blink. gnd went into shorter end. gp14 went into longer end of led.
I used my wires to connect 3 LEDs to the motherboard. I used a usb to connect my motherboard to the computer. I uploaded my code and got my LEDs to blink in a certain order and for a certain amount of time. My red LED was in GP11, my green was in GP13, and my yellow was in GP14.
I drew four 3d shapes. I started by drawing my horizon line and my vanishing point. I then draw my shapes and connected all corners to the vanishing point. I ended by erasing my lines and connecting the ends of the lines.
This is the shape I have chosen to draw in 3d. I came up with this shape since I wanted to be creative. I added 14 LED lights and made a shadow.
I broke down my drawing into each side as if it was 3d. I had to think of my shape from an aerial perspective, the side view, and the bottom. I had to add my measurements to each side. this is for my prototype
I used my cut list to cut out 2d shapes. I had to carefully measure out each part so that it would fit. I then assembled my 3d model using my 2d shapes. I taped my shapes together to hold my prototype.
I made an exact cut list of my prototype. I had to use the correct measurements and make sure all parts were correct size and shape.
I used glowforge laser cutter to cut out my materials. I had to follow simple safety guidelines while it was cutting. I then removed the cut pieces and taped them together.
I made three different sketches of what my light pattern would look like. I had to first plan where my lights would go, then choose the color of each light. I ended by choosing the order of the lights.
I used mu editor to code my light patterns. I then attached my lights to my pico and hot glued them into my prototype. I ended by running the code to see if lights worked.
For my final product, I started by cutting out my pieces with wood on a laser cutter. I glued my lights into holes in the wood and then constructed my box with wood glue. I cut a small hole in the back to slip my project into, and finalized my code. I am very proud of my work and put a lot of time into this.
