This week in robotics I was given my assignment - a research report on the application of an embedded system. I have to choose an embedded system and research its history of the system and it's applications, then I'll have to look into the technology involved, both...

Last week I only had 2 lessons for robotics since a public holiday took away one lesson. This meant I wasn't able to get a whole lot done, but I decided the next thing I want to make with the Arduino kits is a kind of lock system with a relay, as in a button which can...

Over the last week of my robotics course, I have been trying to fix the errors with the code from the previous week, and make the servo motor controlled by an infra-red remote move while a button is held. I started off trying to understand the signals being printed...

This week I started a new project that wasn't apart of the Arduino Tutorial booklet. This project used the concepts I had learnt about in the previous few projects, such as IR, and Servo motors. I put these two main ideas together and attempted to make a servo motor...

Over the last week on IT, I have continued to work through different Arduino challenges to further develop my understanding and knowledge in robotics. The first challenge I made this week was a servo motor controlled by a potentiometer, where the angle of the...

Starting my learning of robotics and mechatronics with Arduino's meant that I have been able to construct some very basic physical systems, and start learning the programming skills for a new language. I learnt the basics about the parts of the Arduino board,...
