Two servos moving back and forth

Today in class I was able to write a code in order for my servo to move back and forth.
Two independently functioning servos

Today in class I was able to write a code in order for my servos to move independently. This means that one is doing one thing while the other is doing a separate action.

The iterative process
The iterative process
Describe at least one “physical” iteration to your robot that you have made, answering these prompts:
How did you know that you needed to make a change to your robot (describe the testing process and what you learned from testing). Include a picture if you are able.
On my robot the wheels where slipping and it was hard for my robot to work.
What specifically did you change?
I had to fix my wheels and find better ways for it to stop slipping.
How did you know/verify that your change helped your robot’s function?
I know when I tested it and it was not slipping as much anymore it was starting to go straight.
Describe at least three “iterations” to your code that you have made, in order (three successive changes):
How did you know that you needed to make a change to your code (describe the testing process and what you learned from testing). Include a line of code to aid in your description if you are able. Originally, when attempting to get my robot to go forward, I typed:
I know I need to make changing to my code when I wanted to make a slight left and it was going all the was to the left or I wanted it to travel an amount of distance and it would go too far.
What specifically did you change? Include a line of code in your description.
What I was playing with with my code was I was playing around with my speed and distance.

The evolution of my robot
After almost a month of working and programming my robot it is finally finished. This is a quick short video showing how my robot evolved and the different types of prototypes I went through. looking back after doing this project I feel really good about it. I met all of the constraints and this is something I can try and build again in the future but even better.

Table Saw
The table saw is a tool that you use to cut things. somethings you would want to know when using a table saw is wear safety glasses and use a push stick so you don't have to use your hands.
What we made

Today we used the table to cut 2x4s into flatter pieces so that we can use them to make are box
Planer
Planer
Planer
This is a planer it can reduce the thickness of your material and also makes you material smooth/nice. Some safe rules are you need to wear ear plugs and safety glasses.
What we made

Today with the planer we just sanded are peace of wood so it would look nice and smooth.
Miter Saw

the miter saw is a saw that cuts angles. some safe rules are you should wear glasses and not make you hand get to close to it.

fingerprint door lock
fingerprint door lock
Things I need?
For this to work you need a couple of things such as a micro servo, Arduino UNO, finger printer scanner, 9v battery, a lock and sew.
How does this work?
when you scan you fingerprint and it is the right fingerprint the micro servo well move and it unsew the sew so it can move the lock handle.
key lock
key lock
For this 3D printed key lock you would need a couple different parts how this works is in the inside of the lock there are these parts the are exactly the size to fit the lock. In the video it shows if you put the wrong key it would not work because it is not fit the right way.
key padlock
key padlock
How these keypad lock works are you have a keypad with a code that you create when you are doing the coding and if it is the right code the lock should unlock. how the lock works are when you put in the right code the latch on the lock thing will move and push itself in so you can unlock it.
card scanner lock
card scanner lock
How this works is you will need to register a card into Arduino and for the lock part, it is a 3D printed lock you will need to 3D print there is a servo that you program to move back and forth at the right distance to open and close the 3D printed lock.
3D Printed lock pieces
3D Printed lock pieces
these are the pieces that i would need to make my lock they was five pieces that fit together.
How the lock works
How the lock works
How the lock works is the servo would be program to move when the right key is scanned and it well move the servo which well move the lock to open it.

front panel
This is the front panel of the lock the bigger whole is where the knob pieces go and the rotors go. the small whole is where the actuator goes.
Actuator
Actuator
This is an actuator. The actuator is the part that is holding the locking part together so when you put in the right combination it well lock.
Rotor
Rotor
This is the rotor. The rotors are the three look alike pieces that are on the dowel that rotates so the so you can unlock the lock.
