16 Aug, 2019 - Dr Azma, our supervisor at MakerLab gave us a task to build a robot from scratch.
Our group were given the task to build Hungry Robot from scratch. With curiosity and excitement, we go through Hungry Robot's page to see what are the requirements to build it, we were told that Arduino is needed to build it, although it sounds quite overwhelming during that time, we continued with the planning for the project.
We divided the group work by, printing the 3D parts, complete the Arduino coding and search for the mechanical parts.
While waiting for the parts to completely arrived, we continue with the Arduino part, which is mainly coding and micro-controller. If you don't know what is Arduino, here
"Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures single-board micro-controllers and micro-controller kits for building digital devices." - Wikipedia.
When all of the mechanical parts for the Hungry Robot has arrived, we uploaded the coding to the Arduino Nano board. The Arduino Nano board is connected with servo motor and distance sensor, we ran the coding to see if the coding works, and the servo motor spins when it sense something infornts of it.
