Learning Module #1 - Soldering with Bryan T.
Learning Module #1 - Soldering with Bryan T.
In this learning module I learned the basics of creating a soldering connection. Together as a group we learned how to remove solder, bridge connections, and ultimately connected resistors, jumper wires, capacitors, LED's and even a speaker.
Learning Module #2 - Arduino with Audie B.
Learning Module #2 - Arduino with Audie B.
This is where the projects became more independent and require some more planning. Audie and I used the basic building blocks of what the Arduino book had given us and we explored further into the capabilities. Our final product was a model traffic light and walk signal LED system controlled by the Arduino to simulate a real traffic light to control pedestrians and vehicle movement.
This is a design that is similar to what our final product looked like.
Learning Module #3 - Pi Game Emulator with Kevin N.
Learning Module #3 - Pi Game Emulator with Kevin N.
When we were given our first 8 day learning module, Kevin and I had a plan we thought we could not accomplish. In those 8 days we learned to use a Raspberry Pi, utilize SSH to remotely access the Pi, and emulate retro games on the Raspberry Pi.
Learning Module #4 - HTML with Devin M.
Learning Module #4 - HTML with Devin M.
Using CodeAcademy's online HTML5 learning tool we worked together through the lesson that the website provided. Ultimately we created a small webpage complete with links to other websites, videos, pictures, headings, sections, and text.
Learning Module #5 - Amazon Alexa Skill with Liz F.
Learning Module #5 - Amazon Alexa Skill with Liz F.
In our original plan to show off what we can do we decided to use Alexa to tell the days most trending tweet. After learning about Alexa and how to create skills that we can implement to an Alexa powered device, we decided to make a game. Our Alexa Skill is a choose your own Adventure Game complete with two separate storylines with multiple different choices which lead to multiple different endings.
Learning Module #6 - Chameleon-like LED Shirt with Mike O. and Bryan T.
Learning Module #6 - Chameleon-like LED Shirt with Mike O. and Bryan T.
This is a shirt that can pick up any color that we raise it to. This shirt uses a RGB color sensor which reflects any light which sends it to the Arduino. Then using the skills we all learned earlier in Learning Module #2, we implemented code which turns the color we sensed to RGB values to send to the LED strip, all powered by a single 9v battery.
