Malia Baker, Robotics and Embedded major and 3D maker and Fabrication
Welcome to Malia's Boards Page
Welcome to Malia's Boards Page
My objectives for the Robotics and Embedded System major are:
Design and complete robotic and embedded systems solutions that apply to real-world situations and challenges.
I picked my final from C++ and 7 segment display. The game takes user inputs and changes the dialogue options based on the user’s input. The seven-segment display takes the user inputs on button changes it to binary and can display what the user wants.
Demonstrate embedded system design skills, including, but not limited to, microcontroller selection, schematic design,
printed circuit board layout, design for electromagnetic compatibility and design for manufacturing.
I picked the chained led project and perfboard assignment. I picked a clean schematic that is easy to be copied.The LED circuit is able to hold up to seven leds to show how the blue LED disable to have less amperage. With this it's able to control multiple LEDs. Another works based on how the blue LED works with it lower abilities compared to the previous Other types of colored LED.
The perfboard show how I can make a simple circuit in a very small section of a perfboard.Perfboard shows the simple layout design on the simple circuit that is to turn on an LED. This demonstrates the ability to create a simple layout on a board with soldering and techniques. So demonstrates that I have the ability to make a circuit board within a small area.
Apply knowledge of transducers, actuators and simultaneous hardware and software development in the design of an
embedded system.
I picked the boar walking project and IR senser.
The IR sensor adds different button presses till the correct code it input in.If the input is insert it incorrectly the serial monitor will tell them that they have messed up and to try again. If the code is correctly inputted in the natural tell them that you did not mess up each of the numbers on the remote have a number output that represents them for example one being 17. With this the user has to correctly input the code to get up to a certain number set by the code which in this case is 255.
For walks is due to the different angles that the servos have been programmed to hit which mimic an actual boars’ walking. These angles are calculated to work together to create a simulation that allows for a robot in theory to walk with one side boar 1 front leg one back leg. First the front leg moves and then the back leg moves right afterwards and a right neck motion that mimics the ability to walk.
Design and analyze real-time embedded systems, including advanced digital logic design, signal processing and highspeed digital systems.
I picked my motor control and 7 segment display.
The 7 seven segment display uses Arduino code to process button presses into binary and changes it to a number or letter depending on the bit.The seven segment display takes in four button inputs. depending on the button input the code changes which number slash letter is displayed. For example, if button two and three are push down then it may read a C. The same premise works with the numbers it all is based on the binary code which is calculated based on button presses.Motor controller is 2 motors that are controlled by a switch to one motor play at one point and then the other one to switch on when the switch is rotate. First the top motor runs in a clockwise position until the switch rotated causing it to stop and for the other motor to start.
My objectives for the 3D maker and Fabrication major are:
Demonstrate the ability to prototype, build, and apply for patents for technology products meeting specific human factors, forms and function criteria
I picked a book holder and model stand.
These were two project that met my client’s expectations and were prototyped multiple times.The book holder is a holder that is able to hold manga that is up to 8 by 11 in size. It can transport and hold up to 6 books. The problem it solves was needing a Safeway to carry books where they wouldn't get wet and so that the user could be able to carry books up a bunk bed. The material is PLA, fabric, rope. The machine that it was used on was the raise. It went through numerous tests like a water test a strength test and many more to test its functionality.
They both are extremely function and when though different test.The model stand was made to be able to hold any type of model that is in a jumping pose.it has an opening so that it can be lit from the sides. It solves the problem of of not having a unique stand that a jumping model can sit upon that isn't just a flat disk and that can be replicated over and over again. The material is resin, and it was printed on the anycubic printer. The strength test was done and failed it, so the model will have to be model the fit wants to go to production at any point.
Demonstrate the ability to evaluate trends in design principles and apply them into the form and function of devices
I picked a brace and prototype of the book holder.
For the book holder, I used triangles and poles as a way to save on materials and keep strength.It was a first attempt at the book holder. Its fuction is to show the weekness in the model designed to be changed.It's made of pla, fabric and string. It when thought a weight test and was able to hold more then expected.It was printed on the ultmaker.
The trend I followed for the brace was the ability to wear an object in a brace form with a tying mechanism.It is a brace for the arm to cosplay with. It solve the problem of needing a cospaly piece on the fly that can look like it has vines.It made of resin and was printed on the Anycubic printer. The test it when though is durability test.
Demonstrate the ability to evaluate material and build technique options during the creation of products and their prototypes
I picked two materials I’ve tested.
These were in a test showing the strength of different materials that could be used in the lining of a game console game case.
In the case face PLA was the winner in the test proving its durability.The test was to hit it with a hammer 50 times to see the results.While coming up with the art canopy, I thought of two materials that would work for it wood, PLA or resin. Since I don't have any woodworking tools wood would be out. Then we have PLA and resin. Resin more expensive and PLA is not. But I decided to print it out in resin due to the fact of it's the only supply that I have which eliminates the other two.But due to the supports being overcoming it caused the part to snap, which leads me to think wood would have been a better option.
Demonstrate the ability to evaluate and implement developments within electromechanical,algrithmic,robotic, microprocessor, sensor and other advancing technology areas while making product design decisions
I picked a model stand that can have LEDs put under it and my M5stickplus case.
The M5stickplus case was made to hold the tiny microprocessor safely. It was printed on the anycubic printer. Its job it to keep the M5stickCplus safe in a case. The one wall was thin and wouldn't last a strength test.It's made of resin and it solves the M5stick needing protection.
The model stand was made for displaying models with LEDs under to light from the bottom.The model stand deals with the probelm of needing a model stand with underlighing that id discreet. It was made to hold a standard standing model. The printer used is anycubic and its made of resin.I tested the depth of the hole and the part would need a bigger hole or a smaller led to work in the model.
Demonstrate the ability to work within a maker studio environment to design, build, test and revise products that neet client timeline, design and quality requirements
I picked my drone and an old part of murphy.
I made both of those using the maker’s space equipment and resources.
The murphy part was a test of making a parts holder that worked with our needs. For team murphy, we used discord as a way of telling what needed to be fixed on different parts.
Demonstrate proficiency with industry accepted prototyping, modeling, build and maker tool and techniques
I picked the model stand and the model of the book holder.
I picked this two because they show that have the ability to use different software to model parts.
That is mostly shown in the book holder model.The techniques I used were using triangles to cut on material cross but also keep the strength. I also use a box like structure to make sure that every angle was supported.For the model holder due to it being on shows I rounded out the edges so that if someone were to hold it it wouldn't hurt their hand. For the box holder, I added holes in all of the different areas to add supports with the rope that was added in post production.
