Where should you be? I think you should be done with "Module 1 and taken the test for module 1" and working on the next section. If you are not there, keep working, but know that you need to spend a bit more time on this class.
Every one who is done with the Module 1 Test
20 Extra Credit points for any score above 80%
5 Extra Credit points for any points above 72%
If you are less that with a score of 72%, Study more and retake
Arduino servo labs:
Keep working on the servo labs with the Arduino. If you're done help other people get done. I would like to see you connect a potentiometer, or light sensor, or distance sensor like the ultrasonic, and then based on that input move the servo. The first thing I want to see that working on Monday, is that everyone has a working circuit with a Pot, Photoresistor, or some other sensor (maybe your 37 sensor) controlling a servo , so make sure you get that working today and help other people get theirs working as well . The whole class gets extra points if everyone in the class has a sensor working that is controlling a servo on Monday.
Catch Up on missing assignments:
if you are done with everything, work on your Udemy class, missing assignments, or Robot Club.
Break 9:00 & 2:10 (10 min)
Robot & Rovers - Moving & Scanning - Servo Motor Introduction
Learning Objectives:
Introduction to Servo Motors. You will explore how a Servo Motor works and how it uses magnetism to move stuff.
Duration: 60 + Min
Review: None
Presentation - Servos & Servo Control 📰 Slides (30 min + Lab)
Additional Links:
Instructions & Expectations: Listen and take notes your Interactive Engineering Notebook. If needed review the posted slide presentation
How to Submit Assignment: For now, just listen and take some notes, Do in class lab
Dig Deeper: Go explore these resources:
Robot Club:
Check your Engineering Notebook. Page and Update your Robot club Docs.
Make sure you update what you did for 70+ minutes
After break you can work on open lab / robot club projects. This means catching up on missing assignments finishing the servo lab. Working on your robot club project. I know some of you might be stuck today sorry I will get you helped on Friday. Do the best you can, but, make sure that you write in your engineering notebook what you actually did I will be checking engineering notebooks.
Check Your Assignments:
If you are missing any assignments, please do one now.
