Team Members: Mike, Stephanie, Rich,  Dino Premise: To devise a plan to construct an miniature scale model of an E.P.M.R.C.M.P.P.U.S.C – an electro-plasto-mechanical remote controlled, [Arduino] microprocessor powered underwater submersible craft. Impractical Archetypal Depiction of a working [Colombian] model craft … Continue reading →

Project: Hell Rabbit Team Members: Irene Iarochevitch Jorge Lara John Moya Frank Mason Team Member Roles: Irene Iarochevitch: As the more experienced in the wonderful field of Arduino (both in a hardware and programming capacity), she helmed most of the … Continue reading →

Unprecedented news, in a one shot deal Google buys out a total of eight robotics lab. What happened? did they feel threatened by Amazon Prime Air, or are they trying to seize momentum? It’s getting very scary, these companies with … Continue reading →

All systems are go now, we tested all the functionality of the bunny, sound was loud and it played randomly, like she wanted it, perhaps too loud. The PIR sensor responded accordingly to movement at a considerable distance, and the … Continue reading →

We worked in installing the servos into the bunny’s head to make the ears flap when the servos are actuated. I had to use cardboard and tie both servos to a housing I cut out of cardboard. I tied both … Continue reading →

So I went to Radio Shack and bought a PIR Sensor, and we tested it during class. Yaro and myself felt good about this sensor, much better than the IR. She had ordered one the week after so know she … Continue reading →

This week Frank worked on perfecting one of the codes for the RGB LED light set up. I went and bought a different type of motion sensor, we have been using a Infrared sensor and the values are hard to … Continue reading →

The sickly-sweet smell of solder, thin wisps of smoke wafting in the air. The drip-drip-drip of sweat, slowly pouring over unkempt brows furrowed deep in consternation. The dull thud of metal on wood. Ka-thunk. Ka-thunk. Pffft. An arsewhisper laid skillfully, … Continue reading →

Using the existing servo code I changed  the program to move the control arms. This is the rudder control program #include <Servo.h> Servo rudder; // create servo object to control a servo // a maximum of eight servo objects can … Continue reading →

This week we began to insert the mechanical parts to the sub in the compartment box that houses all the electronics. The next step would be to attach the control arms to the servos.   And to glue the magnets … Continue reading →
