We will be finishing the Arduino Projects for this unit This coming Wednesday (11/28). As you come to a close on your project, here are the two additional things you will need to complete:

Sub plan for 11/16/18
I will be gone at a conference Friday! I will miss you all, but here is the agenda for Friday: Two options: 1. Work on historical technology project 2. Can work on Arduino project as well if want For those students who do, please remind them to clean up and return their boxes to the appropriate cart at the end of class All students:
I hope you all have a great break and I will miss you all!!!! Gobble Gobble, Mr. B This project will be done in pairs. Before beginning you need to find a partner, get your VERY OWN ARDUINO BOX (!!!!), brainstorm some possible project ideas, and then fill out the following google form: https://goo.gl/forms/AURr3JvhyULThhOs2
Looking for inspiration for your project? The great thing about microcontrollers is that they are everywhere and can do anything (not just turn a light/motor on/off), which means that the challenge for coming up with a project is an overload of options. A couple quick resources that could be helpful are listed below:
Starting next week (week of 11/12) we will be beginning our Arduino projects! This will be done in groups of two and you each will have an Arduino box which is yours and only yours for the duration of the project –meaning you won’t have to worry about another block’s students messing up your stuff. This project can be anything as long as it relates to the programming and microcontroller knowledge we have learned up to this point. While I don’t want to stifle your creativity with this process, I’ve provided a list below for some projects.
Project Ideas
After finishing and submitting the Arduino tutorial lessons in the blog post below, complete the following challenges as a right of passage before beginning the Arduino project:
Challenge #1: Use the Arduino’s ADC functions to print a digital reading from the voltmeter on the Serial Monitor Window WARNING: THE ARDUINO CAN ONLY INPUT A MAXIMUM VOLTAGE OF 5 VOTLS. ANYTHING BEYOND THIS WILL BURN THE CIRCUITRY Challenge #2: Use the Arduino’s PWM function to input to control the speed of a motor (or brightness of LED) through the Serial Monitor Window Challenge #3: put the ADC and PWM together; vary the speed of a motor by altering the “knob” (potentiometer) on the power supply goo.gl/forms/kawCqoUrfx18QAlz1We will now be learning basic programming in C/C++ through an online tutorial. Go to the tutorial link below and follow along with the lessons. As you work through the tutorial, answer the questions/challenges on the word document linked below. For the security of your work, (I've had a number of you list grievances of your work disappearing from your computer) I recommend submitting your word document to the accompanying google form every day).
Link to the online tutorial: https://startingelectronics.org/software/arduino/learn-to-program-course/introduction/ Questionnaire form to complete as you go along: startingelectronics_parts1-4.docx Questionnaire form for parts 5-8: startingelectronics_parts5-8.docx Questionnaire form for parts 9-12 && 15: startingelectronics_parts9-12_and15.docx Submit your form to this google form to turn it in/for safe-keeping: https://goo.gl/forms/wkmghyliq1zNMRht1 11/8/18 notes on ADC and PWM: notes_adcpwm.pdf ADC: Analog to Digital Conversion (data input to the Arduino) PWM: Pulse Width Modulation (data output from the Arduino) note: my google form turn-in is limited in the amount of file sizes which it can store. If you find yourself reaching this limit, go ahead and just submit your work here instead: goo.gl/forms/zbj2pODdVUjGTTKz1 Because I'm paranoid, I'm making a third turn in here: |
