Programming

The last couple of weeks we have been programming a bunch of different things. So far I've done a lot of things. I have made a keyboard, a display screen, and I even got it to play music. The ones that i liked the best had to be the liquid crystal group. In that one you use a little display screen. All of them are the same in the group but the code is just different. I was even able to make my own character on it. It was a little man that would move his arms up and down. That was all for this week so I'll see you next week.

Solder

Last week we started to solder random things together. It was pretty easy but I’m pretty sure we are going to get cancer from the fumes. I also figured out that it kind of hurts when the solder gets on you. The only thing we really made so far was just a simple little badge. It was pretty easy but now I’m working on a different project. I don’t know what it’s called but so far its easy, but it might get hard later when we get farther into the project. What I really want to do is to program something. That was the main reason I’m in this class. So I’m hoping we start doing that soon.

Circuit Boards

Since last semester we have been working on electronics. A lot of the stuff is easy but then some of the stuff is hard. The hardest things has to be the improved organ. It was mostly the fact that there was a lot of wires we had to plug in and my fingers would get in the way. Then when we did stuff with the leds it made it a lot easier if we compressed everything together. We would probably be all done but whenever we need something to get checked of Ms.Smith is always with somebody else for a while so it takes a while for us to get it checked off. That is pretty much it for now we only have a couple of things left so I'm going to be happy when its done.

Electronics

       In the last week we have been learning how electronics work and even building our own. I have made many things from light switches to speakers. We mostly just build simple things that aren't that hard to make. The hardest thing if anything is keeping track of the flow of electricity. The thing I liked most about it was when I hooked up a nob to a speaker and was able to turn up the sound and down the sound as well as dimming a light. That was it for now hopefully I learn more things.

123 Design Continue

                  I have recently been working on my 3D design. I talked about it in my last post so this isn't much new that I've done. They only thing that i really did since the last post was just add some towers to the castle. I also changed some of the materials on it as well. I was only here two days last week because so I missed the last day to really work on it. I was also thinking of making some more stickers as well, but I still don't know what Im going to make yet.

Making my castle

For the past week I've been working on a 3D design. My 3D design is going to be a castle. Right now I only have the wall and the main building. I still need to add some color to it and then I need to decorate the main building and then I should be done with it. The whole idea sounds pretty cool since it prints it out 3D. It can also be made out of a lot of stuff but it can't be made out of metal. There is also pre made stuff to that you can select. Then all you have to do is put it together and then you can change the color if you want to as well.

last couple weeks

In the last couple of weeks I've just been working on finishing my stickers. I have just finished today so I am now done. I've pretty much just been trying to find stuff for my stickers, but since I'm done I'm just going to finish my hydraulic judo bot. When it's done I'm going to make mine fight Craig's. Since me and Craig have been working on it together they are pretty much the same. The only difference is that mine is heavier so mine would win because of the weight. So that has pretty much been the last couple of weeks.
