Our goal for today was to utilize an LCD display. We soldered connector pins to the display. Following Tronixstuff's tutorial, we managed to display values on the LCD correctly.

Then, a person well-experienced in electronics issued our group a challenge - to measure the room temperature and make the LCD show the value in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius - with a little twist. Instead of using the temperature/humidity sensor we've used before, we had to use a thermistor. After referring to a tutorial from Adafruit, we wrote a program called ThermistorLCD and were able to display the room temperature in degrees Celsius as well as the resistance of the thermistor.

Goal
  • Try out the LCD display
  • Use the LCD display and the thermistor to show the temperature

Programs written
  • LCD
  • ThermistorLCD

Winter Internship 2019

Winter Internship 2019 January 02, 2019 In January 2,   since I already have a robot to work on, this internship I am planning to use this opportunity to maintain the robot by comparing the speeds and the load in the robot to make it more stable. January 07, 2019 During the summer internship, I had to make several changes to the robot and it was really hard to switch the idea between one technique and another. So this time I decided to learn 3D designing and build the 3D design of the robot. It will help me to manipulate the robot by using different function. January 08, 2019 On Wednesday, I spent the whole day learning 3D designing. January 10, 2019

Stop, Go

Our goal for today was to have the Arduino robot detect objects in front of it while moving forward. We accomplished this by adding an infrared sensor and LED to the robot. To expand on its ability of detection, we attempted to make the robot stop when sensing an object by using Jeroendoggen's servo library. Programs written DetectObjects MoveForward
