Ethics of Automation (S2, W6)

This week I had my test for the semester on Robotics and Mechatronics. It was a prompt related to the effects that automation within the workforce will have in the future. In addition to the prompt we were given two stimulus to help support our response. I looked at...

Too Many Test (S2, W5)

There is not a lot to report on this week, as the focus has been going forward with the document, as well as preparing for the test next week. We also missed one of the three lessons this week due to the moderation day in which I chose to spend too many hours on...

SPI, I2C, and Interrupts (S2, W4)

After the completion of last weeks work, three new components were added to the document. These were SPI, I2C, and Interrupts. These were relatively easy sections, although they were things I haven’t done before unlike most the previous sections. The first...

EEPROM (S2, W2)

This last week in the Robotics and Mechatronics course continued with the PWM work from last week. Although the work for this wasn’t very complex, there are parts of the pulse system which seem like they could be very useful in various systems. The new content...
