After noticing the display showing Fahrenheit values that were not properly converted, we looked into the code and adjusted the Celsius-to-Fahrenheit equation. Now the display emits the correct values.

Next, we began working with a Dragino Yun Shield, which adds wireless capability to an attached Arduino board. With the shield and Arduino as the command center, a robot can send collected data to a computer or website through a wireless network. A computer could also control the robot's movements cable-free.

Before adding such functionality, we established and tested a connection between the Arduino and our computer. To do so, we connected the computer to the Arduino through the shield's built-in, wireless network. Then we used an example program from the shield's documentation, which makes the Arduino receive information from the computer and send it back .

Goal
  • Display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on the LCD
  • Figure out how to use the Yun Shield and PuTTY program
  • Create a wishlist of the items to order that we'll need in the future
Programs Written
  • ThermistorLCD
  • YunExample1

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

VEX Robotics Competition: Transformer Prototype

VEX Robotics Competition : Transformer Prototype    I ntro The creative variability design of  robots dealing with   environments that  need  some unique mobility   presents challenges that can be tackled by the application of transformation principles for innovative design that opens  a larger  menu  of things that the robot   can do.    G oals O ur  research goals  for  participating in the VEX competition  are  not limited to  tackl ing  the main  objective  tasks, but to  invest  in higher score  opportunities  that call for   creative designs . An additional 6 bonus points are awarded for the team tha t secures the   center parking platform  a t   the  end of the  competition .
