Description For our last original project of the year we dove into the world of electronics. We did this by first working with basic circuits thn we moved onto more complex breadboards and lastly we made robot art with arduino programming. For our art we made A little jumpman game on our LCD display we did this by inding a code online amnd toying with it to make it just like we wanted. . Here is a video of our game at work
Concepts :Circuit: A circuit is defined as a strip of conductive materials that runs from the positive side of a power source to the negative side of a power source. It is crucial to know that you will short-circuit your battery if you don't have any resistance.
Resistance: Resistance is how much a conductive object will slow current. Resistance in a series can be calculated using RTotal=R1+R2+R3. In parallel, the equation is 1/RTotal=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3. Resistance is measured in Ohms, and can also be found using R=V/I
Current: Current is the flow of electricity through a circuit, or a component of a circuit. It represents how much power is passing through a part, and is represented by an I. Current in parallel can be found using ITotal=I1+I2+I3. In parallel, the equation is ITotal=I1=I2=I3. Current is measured in Amps, and can also be found using I=V/R
Voltage: Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit. Voltage is represented by a V. In series, it is calculated using VTotal=V1+V2+V3. In parallel, it is VTotal=V1=V2=V3. Voltage is measured in Volts, and can also be found using R=IV
Reflection I really took a liking to this project I feel like i really got all of the concepts and it all just clicked for me. Things we did well were staying on task, we were so good at this that we finished like 2 days early. Another thing was doing everything right, we got every little detail and nailded it on the head. One thing we could have done better was not freaking out when we screwed like for example we couldnt get the kill code to work and we just panicked. Overall this was one of my favorite projects.
