In this learning module, we learned the basics of Arduino. We were able to create a motion detector that turned on different colored LEDs depending on the distance the sensor detected.
We learned the basics of soldering by completing the soldering kit. We completed the project in the manual which turned on a blinking LED light and siren noise when connected to a 9V battery.
In this learning module, we learned the basics of the Leap Motion Sensor. We worked with the visualizer, app home, and Touchless for Windows program. We also began to look at the SampleListener code in Eclipse.
We continued working with the Leap Motion sensor. We interpreted the data from the SampleListener code and coded some of our own methods into the program. We were able to incorporate the sensor into a 3D game. The screen perspective would change depending on how many extended fingers the sensor detected.
In this project, we combined an arduino, raspberry pi, amazon alexa, and LED lights. We were able to control the lights by giving the amazon alexa voice commands.
We began working with the Thermo Fischer Scientific F3 robot arm. In this learning module our main goal was to achieve any kind of movement. We became very familiar with the arm and were able to make it move towards the end of the learning module.
We continued working with the robotic arm. We learned how to save locations, set variables, and change attributes, such as the speed and tool transform. We were also able to write, compile, and send programs to the controller.
