Many of you did not return your kits.  We are having one, final kit dropoff on Wednesday, May 26th, from 1:30 to 2:30.  If you do not drop off your kit, there will be a hold on your transcript at Detroit Mercy, and quite possibly at Melvindale.  You will also get a bill.


Obviously, if you have spoken to us about dropping it off through another method, or already dropped it off, you are all set.  But otherwise, you must return your kits at this time, or contact Ms. Bizzari or myself about an earlier dropoff.

Wire up the IR sensor, and write the code to elicit the response.  Serial print should say 1, unless the sensor and light are covered up closely.   


Include a picture of your circuitry, a video of the sensor reacting, and a snapshot of your code.


Seniors are only required to submit their code.  Juniors and Sophomores will be expected to submit everything.

Hello all,


Fill the iDRAW Student Survey by May 10 that was sent from Mrs. Joy Mohamed 
by clicking on the link below or the attached flyer.




https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=2MKkyGi9ukC4tnUivppxcSFbHcyhBE1HuIEM_chdD0ZUMkkwU1pZTEVFOVc4VlpCUFRWVlVPTEw1Ry4u

Make sure to attach to this submission: 




Circuit Diagram and Installation - Pictures
Psuedocode for Autonomous Motion - File or image
Chassis Assembled - Picture
Dead Reckoning motion - Video


This is not a hard deadline.  But, if you do not have this done, you are behind schedule.  The final project will be due Tuesday, May 11th.

While our guest speaker is presenting, please take notes, particularly the following:


3 things you learned
2 things that are confusing
1 question you have for our guest.


Submit this immediately following her presentation.

For this assignment we will write the psuedocode for our autonomous robot.  


Please submit your psuedocode, which should:


Include basic if-else comments


NOT just be commands.


Clearly outline what your program will do.  

Complete the whisker test with us in class, by writing your code and getting the depression of each whisker to cause the voltage at each pin to change to 0.  


Submit your code, along with video of the serial monitor showing the change in value when you press EACH whisker.  Example code will be uploaded.


NOTE, you need to modify your robot so the whiskers are physically connected to the wires that come from ground.  See the attached picture that shows how this should look.

Hello all,


Turn in:
1. Submit video of your robot making 4 squares of the same size.  

2. A picture of your code.
3. The Mechanical Calculations 
4. The matching table


I have attached two videos that explain how to use nested for loops.  You are going to use nested for loops to get the robot to go in a square four times. 


The inner loop will make the square (four repeats of go straight, turn).


The outer loop will make the four squares, by repeating the commands of the inner loop four times.  If you can't get the four squares done, but can only do one square, that is OKAY.  You will still get a lot of credit.

Follow along with these slides in class, and submit photos of your assembled circuitry for the assignment.


You must also submit your diagram of the circuits, including 2 switches for the whiskers, and 2 servo motors for the motors.  Sorry for the confusion.


Use these Youtube videos:Chassis Build- https://youtu.be/iaU61_uqkEMElectric Wiring - https://youtu.be/pDgRuSV_spo

Use this video and this work-along sheet to build the chassis needed for your autonomous car.


Submit a photo of your chassis assembled.

Hello all,


Fill the attached Pre-Summer Survey for Ms. Goodwin. 

Submit the video of your S-M-A system operating here. Make sure the video clearly shows both the sensor and the actuator.  
Include your code as a separate file.

We will start this in class, please make sure to complete and submit it!

Please try to have your first draft completed by this deadline. This is NOT a hard deadline, but this part of the project must be completed BEFORE the rest of the project.

Hello all,

1. Book an initial counseling session with Mrs. Goodwin to discuss and plan for post high school.

2. To book the counseling session with Mrs. Goodwin, click on the link below:
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/[email protected]/bookings/

Please take a snapshot of your graph that only includes the cooling data. Please make sure to include your new code. Slides from today are included.

Please hand in a snapshot of a graph of your data. A couple of notes from our class:

-The file you save is called an "m file" (and ends with .m) If you want to run it on the command line, you can type in the filename. So you could save a file as "mymatlabscript.m", and run it by typing "mymatlabscript" on the command line. You can also click "Run".

-Capitalization and underscores "_" matter in data and file names. Please be mindful!

-Email or call if you have questions or connection issues. [email protected], or ‪(313) 451-3741‬

-You can use the data I posted earlier, but if you have your own, that is better.

Bring your data to class on Monday, we will be doing some analysis together!

Please submit a video of your S-M-A behaving properly. Include your code as well.

Complete this assignment with the class, and submit your 20 data points as either a written table or an excel spreadsheet.

If we return this with full credit awarded (40/40), you can complete the project independently by the deadline posted on Monday. If we do not return this with full credit awarded, come to class on Monday, and we will meet with you to discuss what needs to be improved for you to earn full credit.

If you earn full credit, but still want assistance with the project, come to class on Monday and we will meet and talk with you.

If you need an extension because Sunday does not work, that is fine, just let us know as soon as possible. As always, if you have questions, email me at [email protected]

This problem set will be discussed in class together on October 21st. It will be due on Friday, October 23rd.

You are expected to be able to solve these problems independently, because you are expected to complete your project independently. If you cannot, you will struggle on the project, so make sure to get assistance!

Hello all! Attached is a copy of the problem set you should complete before coming to class on Wednesday.

I will be available to discuss this on Google Meet today from 1pm to 2 pm, and tomorrow from 2pm to 3pm. I will post the Google Meet links into the Google classroom stream.

You should attempt using the methods described in the problem set, and which I attempted to demonstrate in class. I will be providing support using those methods. In class on Wednesday, I will articulate why this is necessary.

Attached are the slides from class on October 19th.

At the end of those slides are a few examples of WHY I urge you to use the methods I discussed in class. This features a problem that is NOT within the scope of this course, but is within the scope of a first year electrical engineering course, or other engineering course.

Hello all! This problem set is what we will work on together, in class, on Monday. Do not feel like you need to complete every problem, but do try to give it a read. TRY to comprehend it, this is the kind of expectation for class you will get in college. I look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Hello all! Please make sure this problem set is completed before you come to class on Monday. Thanks so much for your energy and efforts!

Hi all,
Today in class, you will practice the Electric Symbols that are used in constructing electric Circuits. You will be using a Google Jamboard. Attached are 5 Google Jamboards.
Steps:
1. Look for your name in the attached Class List for Jamboard, 2nd Hour Excel Sheet and see which Google Jamboard is assigned with your name.
2. Match the names of the electric components on the right side with the pictures on the left side in the Google Jamboard by writing numbers next to the symbols during class.
3. If the Jamboard doesn't work, then use the Electrical Symbols Docs, 2nd hour
3. Complete the 4 questions Exit Ticket Google Form during class.

1. Complete the Electric Symbols Exit Ticket Google Form in class.

The question was:
In your own words, what indicates the difference between a series and parallel circuit? Do NOT copy from the internet.

Your answer needed to reference that in parallel circuits, there are multiple pathways (or that the current splits and joins), while in a series circuit it does not. It is worth noting that there ought to be multiple resistors on either one. Other correct answers with regards to voltage were accepted.

0 points were awarded if no answer was submitted
7 points were awarded if the answer was incorrect
10 points were awarded for correct answers.
