Learning Module #1: Raspberry Pi (5 Days)
Learning Module #1: Raspberry Pi (5 Days)
Over the course of 5 days, Braedon and I managed to set up a raspberry pi and create a simple drag and drop program on it using scratch, utilizing the pi's ability to access the internet in order to import an image and an audio file for the program.
The steps we went through to accomplish this are the following:
1.) Obtain a raspberry pi and the required parts for it
2.) Use another computer to upload the user software onto the micro chip
3.) Install said software on the pi from the chip to use the mini computer
4.) Open up the operating system on the pi
5.) Create a simple program on scratch
6.) Utilize the pi's ability to access the internet in order to download content from it
7.) Import downloaded content
Learning Module #2: Soldering (5 Days)
Learning Module #2: Soldering (5 Days)
Working together again, Braedon and I learned how to solder through the use of a practice model kit. We completed it with mostly success after some time of trial and error.
At first we had some trouble but soon managed to learn how to take proper control of the process. We accidentally burned it here and there before realizing that we had the iron temperature up too high.
Eventually, we soldiered a few components onto the board such as LED lights, which we got to flash. The final one involved a buzzer to make noise but we couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
Despite this, we still got a lot of learning out of this module and would now be able to apply these new skills in the field of soldering.
Learning Module #3: Arduino (5 Days)
Learning Module #3: Arduino (5 Days)
For the last time we would work with each other, Braedon and I went on to see what we could accomplish with an Arduino Learning Kit. We first went through multiple tutorials it came with, learning about and getting a feel for how the thing works.
After completing each one, we decided to use our spare time left in order to use what we learned in creating one larger project. After combining the different components we learned about during the module, we managed to make a sort of door alarm, with a tilt-ball switch, LED lights, and a sound buzzer.
