"Fire Breathing Robots..." What's Next Project Ideas
These are projects that can be selected from if you have already mastered the skill that is being tought. They will be loosely organized into Units. So, C++/Arduino Challenges, Python Challenges, etc. If you have complete the current challenge for the Unit or Topic we are learning about, and are wondering, "What's Next", talk to your teacher, and pick something that your interested in off this list, or define a related project of your own.

Overview:
This is the site to find all the Mechatronics Engineering "What's Next Project ideas.
Open Lab "Engineering Notebook" - This is where EVERY STUDENT is expected to post what they did during Open lab. If you don't post here on the day of the Open Lab, then you will not receive the full points. See the 🚧🛠️ 🏗️🚧 Open Lab Rubric Instructions 🚧🛠️ 🏗️🚧 for full explanation of points. Depending on what you worked on, you or your team mates could be filling out Your personal Engineering Notebook, or a Project specific Engineering Notebook Google Doc.
Please let me know if you don't have author privileges to your "Official" Robotic Club Project Engineering Notebook.
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.
Arduino & C++ Challenges & Projects
Arduino & C++ Challenges & Projects
These are projects that are focused on expanding your skill with Coding, Programming & Loading an Arduino.
Arduino C++ Functions
Arduino C++ Functions
This project is to create a page that documents the process to
How to hack a Radio to transmit Data using an Arduino or other Microcontroller
How to hack a Radio to receive Data using an Arduino or other Microcontroller
Document this process, so others can take a radio pair and add a radio link to a project
Infrared Remotes
Infrared Remotes
This project is to create a page that documents the process to
Arduino - Build an Arduino designs to receive an Infrared signal and decode it.
(2nd Semester) Raspberry Pi Pico - Raspberry Pi Pico designs to receive an Infrared signal and decode it.
Decode the infrared signal codes from a specific remote and document the process, so other students can use that remote in a project. ( I have a few different remotes, and each team of 2 can work on a specific remote.
Eventually these deign specific to a specific remote will be posed on a GitHub site.
Infrared Remotes & Robots
Infrared Remotes & Robots
This project is to create a page that documents the process to
Connect an Infrared Remote to a robot ( I have a few different remotes, and each team of 2 can work on a specific robot/remote.
Hack old hand held Radios to be communication between Microcontrollers
Hack old hand held Radios to be communication between Microcontrollers
This project is to create a page that documents the process to
How to hack a Radio to transmit Data using an Arduino or other Microcontroller
How to hack a Radio to receive Data using an Arduino or other Microcontroller
Document this process, so others can take a radio pair and add a radio link to a project
Jeopardy Game Controller
Jeopardy Game Controller
Build a Arduino or Raspberry Pi based Jeopardy Game controllers and 4-8 buttons. Attention must be paid to make sure the sensing of button pushes is as Random as possible... Maybe this should be a class lab... to see who's design is the most random and fair.

Project That Don't Need a MicroController / Arduino / Raspberry Pi Projects
These are projects that don't need a Microcontroller or Raspberry PI, so we can do them earlier in the year.
