Josh and I learned how to program an Arduino. We managed to learn how to wire an Ardruino. With this we managed to turn a motor on and off, get inputs and outputs from a super sonic sensor, and turn lights off and on. This module was a good starter to understand wiring and Arduinos.
Josh and I learned how to solder. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable learning module. Soldering is used to keep wires in place by melting a metal referred to as solder and then letting said metal harden with a wire inside of it keeping it in place.
Josh and I learned how to use Unreal Engine and made a map that could be used in virtual reality. Sadly there were no functional VR headsets in the school. But besides the lack of testing we learned how to create textures, landscape, add objects into the world, setup light sources, and adding sky-boxes.
Logan and I learned how to program an Alexa. This was the first major learning module and we managed to program a "chose your own route" type of game escaping a forest through Alexa. We used a website called voiceapp to program the Alexa and uploaded it through Amazon's developer website.
Alex and I managed to program a LEAP Motion controller which was capable of seeing the velocity and position of fingers, hands, joints, bones, and arms. With this knowledge I intend on programming the arm in the back of the room to sync up with the LEAP motion sensor.
Josh and I learned how to get a robotic arm working in the back of Detrick's room. The arm is controlled through a C500C controller that was disabled by the previous person using it which we had to undo. After this we could enable arm power and produce movements with commands. We attempted to use an XBOX controller to control the arm but we were unable to get it to work due to a needed C++ library being Windows 10 exclusive and my Windows 10 laptop could not send inputs correctly for some reason but other computers could.
Noah, Josh, and I attempted to create a RAT that could steal data through a fake WIFI access point. We used a program called Wifi-Pumpkin to use the hardware Noah had purchased to create a WIFI signal. Once anyone connected the program should see the person who connected and can do certain things to them depending on the proxy that is enabled.
