Arduino Projects
Using Arduino on Autodesk's Tinkercad, this displays a 4-way traffic light with a stop, caution, forward, and left-turn lights. Additionally, using touch sensors, the code and lights mimic working cross-walk buttons. I also made the Arudino's code. This was project for my Engineering Design and Development class.
Since this was such a fun high school project that really inspired me to go into engineering, I was very happy to teach this project as a Project Development Teaching Assistant under Dr. Asunda for his TLI 161 Prototyping in Engineering/Technology Education class. The class's goal is to help teach future teachers how to teach Engineering/Technology. Since the professor wasn't familiar with Arduino at the time, he gave me the opportunity to create a 6-week final long project for his class and teach it. So using laser cutters, 3D printing, soldering, Tinkercad, and of course the Arduino itself, I had each student create their own version of this traffic light in hopes that when they become teachers themselves, they can teach this project to their high school students. This project not only includes the interactive touch sensors that my high school project did but also an motorized railroad-crossing lever.
This wired and coded Arduino project was built to correct social distancing during Covid-19 by displaying a smiling, neutral, or sad face depending on the users distance away from it.
This game used 3D printed, laser cut, and a programmed pieces. The timing game with four levels had the first player select a spot on an LCD array board that the second player would have to hit.
For my TECH 12000 Design Thinking for Technology course, my group of five teammates was tasked to help aid the world's water conservation efforts. Through the class's focus on solving problems through ethnographic research, we created a prototype that used an Arduino's temperature, light, humidity, and moister sensors to tell farmers when their crops would need more or less water. The sensors would first be placed on the farmer's plants. Then, the sensor's data would be displayed on the person's phone so they could know how much to water their plants. I created the Arudino system's wiring and code in my team.
