For this week, our team primarily worked on getting the sound the work via waveshield. Unfortunately, we also realized that we are going to have to put an amplifier as an add-on for the Waveshield so that the output volume emanating … Continue reading →

Objective: To use an Arduino board as the powering device while using a potentiometer to control a servo motor. Materials: Servo Motor, Potentiometer as the sensor (to create an interactive device between the potentiometer and the servo motor), Arduino Duemilanove … Continue reading →

I’ve taken on the role of ordering most of the parts for our wearable LED jacket, and running into an unexpected snag – many of the parts I was originally looking at are out of stock. My guess is that … Continue reading →

That’s right AUV not ROV.  Autonomous Underwater Vehicle not Remote-controlled Underwater Vehicle.  After careful examination of designs and materials our group has decided to remain true to our original idea and create un untethered vehicle, hence the change in name. … Continue reading →

Throughout the course of this week, our team decided that to ensure accomplishing each portion of the project in a timely and easy manner, we must break down the testing and of the parts (i.e. servo motors, proximity sensors) and … Continue reading →

Objectives: To connect a Arduino Duemilanove board to servo motors to test their functionality. Materials: Arduino Duemilanove board, servo motor, jumper cables to connect the servo motor to the Arduino Board, USB Cable for Arduino board, the example “Sweep” from the Arduino … Continue reading →

In the group that i have chosen to join we are taking on a LED project. We plan to make clothing pop out with LED lights. My group has agreed to use a sweater/jacket in this project and we all … Continue reading →

This is a late submission of the micro proc/controller journal. The microcontroller I chose is a Parallax P8x32A chip, which is a multi-core 32bit RISC CPU with 8 cores. Each of the 8 32bit cores has a CPU which accesses … Continue reading →

This is a make-up of the assignment on actuators. Since I was interested in Cymatics phenomena, I chose an appropriate actuator which could be used to generate vibrations that result in said patterns appearing. That device is the “3B Scientific … Continue reading →
