Arduino Programming Introduction to Arduino: So what is Arduino? It is an open-source  electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software, used for building electronics projects. Open-source may sound like a foreign word but its meaning is quite simple, all it actually means is that its  source code is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Maker Uno Kit The maker uno board consists of 10 different parts. It has Piezo Buzzer slide switch Piezo Buzzer Power Pin Analog Pin Micro USB B Type connector Rest Button Programmable Button Series of LED for Digital I/O PWM Pin Digital Pin Figure 1: Components of Maker Uno Board and their functions   This is the cable that comes with the Maker-Uno kit and  is used to connect the Maker-Uno board to a computer or laptop with Arduino programming installed. Code can then be made with the program and once the code has been uploaded, the USB cable can be plugged in to any power source for it t...

  LASER CUTTING For this week we did laser cutting and the objectives were to: explain how the laser cutter works the risks and hazards that comes with using a laser cutter name the materials that can be cut and how deep it can be cut explain the difference between raster and vector So how does a laser cutter work? Specifically a CO2 laser cutter since that is the one we'll be using. It works by passing high voltage current  through the tubes mainly filled with CO2 and some nitrogen which would increase the energy of the gas particles and produce an invisible beam of high power infrared light(laser beam). To move and redirect the laser beam, multiple mirrors would be use to reflect the laser beam to the focusing lens and onto the workpiece. The purpose of the focusing lens is to focus the beam into a small point making it more powerful like a magnifying glass. If the focusing lens is damaged or is too close or far from the focal point, the laser would not be able to cut ...

LASER CUTTING For my handphone stand design, I wanted to go with something cool and interesting but after researching and thinking for a bit, I had decided to do a clean and sleek hand phone stand with a print/etch/design on the back. this is the design I will be going for. Its simple and clean and can I can easily add a design at the back. Now onto actually making the handphone stand.  The first step is the easiest, press sketch and draw a simple line of 80mm The second step is to roughly draw a line like this. For now we don't need to worry about the specific of the angles and lengths too much as we will be adjusting that later on. The third step is to do roughly the same thing just that this line is specified to be 70mm. The fourth step is where we start to get specific but don't worry, we will be taking it slow and easy. For this step, we will use sketch dimensions and select the lines drawn in the second and third step and adjust the angle in between t...

CAD For this week's blog, what we did: -A refresher on how to use the CAD software  - Teaming Skills and Tools Team skills and tools: What we did for team skills and tools was to establish rules and roles within our group.  Roles of each member and their responsibilities: The team leader of this group is Nick Tay. What he will be doing for the group is organising the members, allocation of tasks, leading group discussions and resolve arguments within the group if the situation ever arises. The role that I have is the time keeper. I will be in charge of managing time during our weekly discussions be it face to face or online. I will have to ensure that we don't exceed the amount of time we were given and ensure we don't waste time on things that are irrelevant to the project. The role of Anwar is to be the scribe. He will take note of the important details we may have discussed during the online meetings so that it'll be easier for us to access and revisit if need be....
