LM #1 - Arduino - Nathan B & Chris M
LM #1 - Arduino - Nathan B & Chris M
For the first learning module Nathan worked with Chris M to learn and explore Arduino's. They used Arduino's examples to learn how to work with and create things with the Arduino. They worked with making LED's blink. They also worked with mini servo's and an ultrasonic sensor.

LM #2 - 3D Printing - Nathan B & Kevin B
LM #2 - 3D Printing - Nathan B & Kevin B
For the second learning module Nathan worked with Kevin to figure out how the 3D printer worked. They watched some videos to figure out how to use the printer, then they printed out some models that were already on the USB drive. They also found some models online for some things that would help people with disabilities. They made a bag carrier to make it easier to carry multiple bags, and also a signature guide.
LM #3 - Soldering - Nathan B & An L
LM #3 - Soldering - Nathan B & An L
For LM #3 Nathan worked with An to learn soldering. Neither of them had soldered before so it was a good learning experience. They used one of the solder kits that has instructions on how to solder and has a practice board with components.
LM #4 - 3D Printing models made with Kinect - Nathan B & Chris M
LM #4 - 3D Printing models made with Kinect - Nathan B & Chris M
For LM #4 Nathan worked with Chris M to make 3D scans using an Xbox 360 Kinect, then print them out with the 3D printer. They used a software called Skanect to make the scans, then imported them to the 3D printer to print them out.
LM #5 - 2D Unity Game - Nathan B & Josh K
LM #5 - 2D Unity Game - Nathan B & Josh K
For LM #5 Nathan worked with Josh K to learn the basics of Unity, and create a simple 2D platformer game. To do this they utilized several YouTube tutorials and by the end of the Learning Module they each had made a simple game.
LM #6 - Drone - Nathan B & Donovan M
LM #6 - Drone - Nathan B & Donovan M
20230110_105911.mp4For LM #6 Nathan worked with Donovan M to learn about drones, and attempt to fix a broken DJI Phantom 2. They spent the majority of the days troubleshooting with the broken drone, but the end they weren't able to fix what they believed was the problem which was the drone needing a firmware update. Unfortunately the drone is no longer supported by DJI, and they weren't able to install and updates.
LM #7 - RC Car - Nathan B & Dominick R
LM #7 - RC Car - Nathan B & Dominick R
For LM#7 Nathan worked with Dominick R to make an RC car with a sensor on front to sense when it's about to hit something. To do this they used an Arduino with an Adafruit motorshield to control the two motors on the car. The rear spun the wheels, and the front steered the wheels. Then they attached a breadboard with an ultrasonic sensor to the front to check the distance from an object, and when the distance got too small the rear wheels would stop and reverse. They wanted to add a camera so they could drive the car remotely. Nathan got a raspberry pi with a camera working, and Dominick worked on making a bluetooth app to control the car with. By the end they had the car and the app working, but they were never able to add the camera onto the car.
LM #8 - CNC With CD Drives - Nathan B & Chris M
LM #8 - CNC With CD Drives - Nathan B & Chris M
For LM#8 Nathan worked with Chris M to make a CNC drawing machine with old CD drive stepper motors. They used an Arduino with CNC motor sheild, and used the old CD cases to attach the motors onto. They also 3D printed a holder for the pen.
