Robot Art Show

Objective:

Given the scenario of a distant future where robots have annihilated all human existence, our task was to create a form of art using coding to give an example of what robots could use. Using the Arduino coding kit, my team consisting of Forrest, myself, and Dylan we came up with a design that allowed packages to be known to the owner, until the package was removed it would contentiously beep until a the system would be turned off or the paackage was removed.

Setup:

We programmed our sensor to only turn on the circuit if there was something sensed with in 2 inches, realistically it would only see a package because there would be infinate possibilities of obstructions if it had no distance limit. We started with powering the board with 5v and and from there we created the buzzer, hooking up the positive to number 10 on the board and connecting the negative, to the negative side of the bread board. We then did the distance sensor positive to positive power and negative power. Then connecting the trig pin to 6 and the echo pin to 5 the sensor was now hooked up. Finally with the servo we attached a wire to 9 and then with the positive and negative ports to the bread board.

Content:

V=ir - Voltage is equal to current multiplied by resistance. This equation can be used to find any of the values when the other two are given. The current is the flow of electricity the battery has, the resistance is the force against the current in the circuit, and voltage is the potential force of the energy source.

Circuit - a complete loop of conductive materials that allow electricity to flow connected to a power source

(Series)- multiple components one after another on the same path, if you disconnect one the circuit is incomplete and won't work

(Parallel) - components on multiple path ways and the current can travel through either one, therefore the circuit is independent and if you disconnect on portion, it can still work

Voltage - the potential energy put into to circuit from the power source.
Resistance - the amount of current slowed or transferred at a lower rate due to components
Power - rate at which electrical energy is transfer

How it works:

When detected the buzzer is sending out a signal of a siren that we programmed. The door opening represents someone coming out and grabbing the package as we wanted another component and it made it a little bit more realistic.

Reflection:

This peer project provided valuable insights into my strengths and areas for improvement. I am proud of my effective communication and adaptability skills, which positively impacted the team's dynamics and problem-solving abilities. Moving forward, I aim to enhance my time management and productivity skills to optimize our work rate and greater collaboration within the team. By continuously learning and growing from these experiences, I am confident in my ability to excel in future projects.
