learning from experience
I participated in the Accessible Design Makeathon in place of the iteration assignment and joined Team Solestice from Vishal’s class. Our goal was to create
For my iteration assignment, I decided to revisit the 3-d modelling assignment. In that assignment I made a lot of models that I wanted to
(Iteration on Arduino Week 1) Original: Simple temperature sensor that shows a color between blue-green-red depending on where the temperature is relative to a low-medium-high
This week, we were tasked to make something new out of the things that we have learned throughout the semester. Earlier in the semester, I
For this assignment we were tasked with remaking an idea from a previous assignment in a meaningful way. I choose to re make my vinyl
Initial Design and Planning I wanted to redo my nametag for the iteration assignment ever since I found out I actually lasered the wrong side
Wow, I can’t believe that the semester is coming to an end (graduation is just around the corner, don’t know what to feel about it).
Participating in the Make-a-thon was a great experience, and it was fun to work on a product that would help someone. The name of my
The original project: But it’s a bit fragile & not super practical for actual play. I wanted something I could give to a three year
During our initial meeting, I met my group members when we were interviewing our mentors. I asked John about wearing a watch with limited hand
Makerspace Final Project Proposal – Alarm Pillow v2 Tool Areas: Arduino Sewing Possibly 3D printing Soldering Learning Goals: Learn how to solder, so that the
For the final project I would like to make a nature themed infinity mirror which can be hung on a wall and will create an
For this week’s assignment, we had to re-do a previous assignment, using different tools and materials. I decided to re-do my name tag, as an
For the iteration project, I drew inspiration from my name tag assignment and the Arduino labs. My name tag had a few elements that I
My final project is inspired by Mother London’s “Wildhomes for Wildlife” campaign with Ikea. https://motherlondon.com/work/ikea-wildhomes-for-wildlife/ Designers took Ikea furniture and repurposed it to make wacky
For my final project, I’d like to try my hand at creating a board game inspired by board games I’ve played such as evolution
Initial Concept/Design For the initial concept and design, I was inspired by the movement of how a penguin waddles. Thus, for the pom pom bot,
For this week’s continuation of Arduino, we incorporated movement using servo motors. Our assignment was to build a locomotive pom-pom bot using these motors, the
1.IMG_9045 I learned how to make two motors work at the same time in class. I also learned how to change the starting position and
We began the second portion of the Arduino unit by experimenting with servos in class. We were shown the Sweep program by Barragan
My initial thought was to create an AT-AT walker from Star Wars. The idea was to build it with an upper rectangular structure and four
For this assignment, we were tasked with creating a robot using Arduino with the capability of moving in a specific direction. We were allowed to
For this assignment, we had to create a pom-pom bot using Arduino and servo motors. The process was simple, but a bit challenging. This was
Motivation and Initial Design: Instead of doing something that mimicked walking, as seemed the case for most others, I decided to work with something more
Initial Conception Last week when we started designing our bots, I just doodled a snowman (Christmas may still be on my mind) and thought that
For this design, I wanted to make a robot that dragged itself across the floor with an arm. I decided I wanted to give it
Description. For this assignment we are to use arduino and some 9g servo motors to creating a robot of some kind that can move at
This week, I tried to build a machine powered by an arduino and two servos that would walk. My initial design had two servos tightly
Initial Pom Pom Design After considering how different animals move, I initially decided to have my pom pom bot crawl along the ground–with 2 servos
For this project I initially wanted to make a robot that does the Woah, a new dance move that’s been all over Twitter these past
Initial Idea: My initial idea was to make a caterpillar like bot that moves by rapidly shaking back and forth. The design can be seen below.
For this week’s assignment, we worked with Arduino to create locomotive pom pom robots. In lab, we explored servo motors and played around with the
Subtitle: shaoyie is not responsible enough to use a hot glue gun. Finished product! Dragon! (Video will be attached below) I will readily
In lab section this week we learned how to control the servo motor with the Arduino board. My idea was to get something moving and
Locomoting Pom Pom Bots We continued on working with Arduinos, and the goal for this week was to make a pom-pom bot that moves from
I began by sketching & brainstorming types of movement. Waddling seemed possible. So I added that to the fact that my nephew loves dinosaurs &
For this Assignment I started off by drawing an initial concept/design on paper. In this initial design I wanted to have the motors held together
Prototype 1: Sadly this one didn’t make it much past the conceptual stage. After working with the logistics of it, I quickly realized that making
This week we worked on our second part of the Arduino project: locomoting pom pom bots. Using Arduino hardware and software, we built multiple iterations
This week we continued our exploration of Arduino with the focus of creating Pom Bots, which utilize Servos that can rotate 180 degrees. I had
For our second assignment involving Arduinos we were tasked with making a robot capable of moving using two or more 180 degree servos. We started
For the 2nd week of Arduino assignment, we got to create a pom bot! Our main goal was to make it move forward using 2
For this week’s assignment, we learned how to use servo on Arduino. The aim of the assignment is to make a moving robot that can
Build Process For this week, we began working with Arduino’s and attachments, to make cool stuff and little robots. For my invention, I decided to
Build Process For this project, we were tasked with something that seemed somewhat monumental at first – making a moving robot using Arduino. Having had
This week, we learned how to use the Servo motors to create simple movement. I really enjoyed the learning experience (although it was quite hard
F or the second week of Arduino, we’ve learned controlling servos using Arduino. And we’ve been challenged to code different behaviors for two servos. A
