Angel Villagran Munoz, Mechatronics: Rube Goldberg Project #2

Today, Maya and I worked on the building portion of our project. We checked on the code we made for our magnet sensor and we fell into some trouble. The code kept reading that there was another magnet near by so it kept saying "detected" over and over again. It took some time to figure out the problem but it was solved. There was something that Maya added in and so the code ran and done things right. I've drilled each of the pieces of pipe that we have and added the sensors to one of the pipe. We ran down some marbles and the sensor detected the marbles which worked. Overall, progress is being made.

Angel Villagran Munoz, Mechatronics: 1 Hour Open Lab

Today, I work on my Linked In account. I was working on my description part of the account and adding to that I was going to add in my work experience but I couldn't have time to do so. So I began to make a google doc to make my first part of the experience. Next up was working on the Rube Goldberg, which me and Maya was worked on the building part. We finally made the stand of the magnet detector which would have the motor spin in circles plus having the magnet spun on the motor which would trigger the sensor, hence activating the other persons project.

Today I was thinking of what other ideas we can implement into our Dispenser. What I thought about was that there should be a calibrating system. By that, I was thinking of having some sort of code on the back of our dispenser. Then have that be added onto our little app to make things more safe as no one else can interfere with the device. This can be better for safety reasons and overall the idea this can be very good. I need to figure out the working of the sort of system though. I will research as much as I can to understand plus gain some help from someone I know who is very aware about how this works.

Today, I am almost finished with the Job skills ready. Only need one last lesson and done. Then the whole I was working on the Exploravision. First my group got a lead on to what our plan is. Found out the generators position and where this would be powering from. Plus how there will be power storing up. Figured the amount of houses would be powered and then figured the amount of power needed for the generator.
