MY PROJECTS
ME10 - Robotics
ME10 Project 1
Introduction - Blink
My reintroduction to the Arduino platform. Familiarizing myself with Arduino code with the basic example, "Blink," I was tasked with changing the high voltage value to be set for 3 seconds, then set to a low voltage value for 2 seconds.
ME10 Project 2
Task 1 - LED Basics
a. LED on
b. Switches are wired in series
c. Switches are wired in parallel
Task 2 - Spaceship Interface
- when the button is pressed the two red lights blink sequentially for half a second
Task +2 - LEDs "Go Crazy"
The two red lights blink 20 times per second sequentially using a for loop in my Arduino IDE script.
ME10 Project 3
Task 3 - Love-O-Meter
Utilizing a temperature sensor, all three LEDs will light up in series based on how "in love" you are.
​
Task 4 - Color Mixing Lamp
Using 3 phototransistors and tricolor LED, it will light the LED a certain color based on what exterior light is displayed.
ME10 Project 4
Task 6 - Light Theremin
Modified the volume of the piezo using to different methods
1) Using a potentiometer
2) Using a phototransistor
Task 7 - Keyboard Instrument
Created a digital mini keyboard to output the A, C, D, and G keys while showing off my musical talent by playing one of my favorite songs.
​
​
​
ME10 Project 5
Task 9 - Motorized Pinwheel
Spun a pinwheel using a motor at the press of a button
​
Task 10 - Zoetrope
Created moving images in forward and reverse using a motor and still images
ME10 Project 6
Task 5 - Mood Cue
Used a potentiometer and a servo motor to create a mechanical gauge that points out what mood you are in.
​
Task 12 - Knock Lock
Used a piezo and a servo motor to create a locking mechanism that unlocks with a knock.
ME10 Project 7
Task 8 - Digital Hourglass
Created a "6-second glass" that turns on a LED every second and rings on the 6th second using a piezo.
​
Task 12 - Crystal Ball (YES Ball)
Used a tilt sensor and an LCD screen to create a "Crystal Ball" that tells the user's fortune.
ME10 Final Project
"Project Lucy"
Squeak N Treat
ME153 - Design
FINAL Project - AUTOSHADE
​
Problem:
-
Conventional sunshade designs
-
Not changed in years
-
A hassle to store
-
Awkward to set up
-
Not a factory feature of a car
​
Solution:
-
A fast automated external sunshade that ejects and stores itself
-
For integration with future production vehicles
What are its features?
-
Low Profile corrugated plastic casing
-
12V Motor with encoder
-
Arduino Uno with a motor driver
-
12V battery pack
-
Low friction spacers (bearings)
-
Neodymium Disc Magnets
-
Nylon-Polyester Reflective fabric
How it works
-
PID controller rolls out a specific length of fabric
-
One button press to roll/unroll
ME104 - Mechatronics
Project 1 - Coming Soon
