My First robot
This is stage one of my first robot. Here my robot has the wheels installed and programmed to work with the stepper motor. In the future I will be adding more deviced to my robot.
Motor
This is a motor that will be used in my first robot. the motor is connected to the arduino and we can program it to move back and forth and so forth.
Sonar
This is a sonar connected to the arduino. This is used to detect how far things are from the device. This piece of technology is very useful. This will allow my robot to sense its surroundings and complete the task at hand.
Stepper motor
This is a picture of my stepper motor and my relay connected to my arduino. The stepper motor is what will power the wheels in my first robot, and the relay is what will allow my robot to either attack things, or clear things out of the way.
Switch and actuator
This is a picture of a switch and an actuator. The actuator moves in and out, and can be used as robotic arm. The switch on the left controls the power.
resistor Divider
This is a picture of me measuring the voltage drop in the resistor divider. It still reads 4.89 volts, because the two resistors act as one giant resistor. Both of the resistors drop the same amount which is 2.42 volts.
Measuring Photo Resistor
Measuring Resistors
This is me measuring a resistance. A resistor has three color bands, each color represents a diferent number from 0-9. The order is: black, brown, red, orange, yellow,green, blue, purple, grey, white. The firs two bands represent the first and second digit, and the third band is the multiplier by numbers of 0's
