Soldering Basics
For My first learning module, I worked with Justin J to learn the basic of soldering. We used a soldering kit that showed us how to solder a board that then ran a speaker.

IMG_1779.MOV Since this was our first time using an arduino, we started with making a basic circuit that lite up an LED and sounded the buzzer when a specific button was pressed.
IMG_1799.MOVAfter we got the LED's and buzzer working, we implemented the ultrasonic sensor. Once wired correctly, we coded the LED's to light up at different distances (Green being the farthest, Red being the closest). We also made the buzzer beep faster and faster as the distance reduced.

My partner, Federico C, and I worked to gather to learn the basics of Python, and wrote several simple programs.

3D Scanning with 360 Kinect
3D Scanning with 360 Kinect
For this project, myself and Doug M used an Xbox 360 Kinect, and a Program called Skanect, to scan ourselves and 3D print our scanned models.

Scan
This is a scan of my self that we did by slowly spinning in a chair in front of the Kinect. Once scanned, it is then rendered into Skanect were you can edit the scan to clean it up.Scan
Export
After we edited the scan, we then exported it as a STL file. (Large reduction in polygons, because the version of Skanect we used restricted the amount of polygons we could export.)Export
3D Print
From there it was a simple process of sending our files to the 3D printer and in few hours, we had 3D models of ourselves3D Print

BlueTooth Toy
BlueTooth Toy
My partner, Thomas S, and I took apart an old walking toy and made it walk on command with an arduino Blue Tooth module.

Rewiring
Rewiring
Since we ripped all of the electronics out of the original toy, we had to rewire the motor and implement a Bluetooth module. (we tried to make everything fit compactly together)

Bluetooth
Unfortunately this a video of the final product, but we have a clip of us figuring out the Bluetooth. To control it we paired it to our phone and sent it a 0 or a 1 on an arduino Bluetooth app.

Chatter Bot
Thomas and I worked together again to make an talking mouth using an Arduino, a micro servo, KA2284 module, and a speaker.

Creating the Mouth
Creating the Mouth
We had made the mouth out of cardboard and connected the the bottom jaw to the servo using a paper clip as the linkage
Reading the Audio
Reading the Audio
The hardest part of this project was figuring out a way to have the mouth move accurately to the sound inputted. To accomplish this we purchased a KA2284 audio peak meter. We then pulled audio from 3 different audio levels to give the mouth "3 bit" movement.
Wiring
Wiring
The rest of the board consist of an aux in cord connected to the KA2284 module, a speaker, arduino, and the batteries to run it
Since we used an aux cord, we could plug it into an Alexa or Siri to give them a something to talk through, or plug it into your phone and have a conversation through it like in this video.
