During the Make-o-Rama last Friday, the Trailer Automation team showed off our work to parents, teachers and other students. We set up three computers - one showing our compiled code on Codeshare.com, one with our half-completed Instructable (missing only pictures), and one with the missing images constantly rotating in a slideshow. We also had our... Continue Reading →
The start of this project was an idea, but as time has moved on its becoming a real product. As a team we have been working on getting our recycling app a strong foundation. As a team we thought of ways we could make the app user-friendly and easy to understand the procedure on how... Continue Reading →
Coming back from the spring break we're ready to continue our project. Our main goal for now is to begin coding our board to function as a communication device between the sensor and the phone via Bluetooth. Though setting up a program for this takes time and a lot of downloading if you're not running... Continue Reading →
As the year nears the close and college admissions decision come rolling we get closer to the Maker Faire and presenting our creation to our community. This means my group needs to realistically asses our goals for this project. Initially we undertook a huge project, and maybe it is still possible that we could accomplish... Continue Reading →
This week, the Trailer Automation team has continued testing the sound sensor that recently arrived (shipped via Amazon). We are still encountering problems with the values that appear on the Serial Monitor, a screen associated with our sound sensor’s Arduino code which constantly interprets the sensor’s analog input into digital numbers. The Serial Monitor constantly... Continue Reading →
Did you leave the light on at home? Is the coffeemaker still going? Is someone walking through the door to your house right this very second, moments away from stealing your most prized possessions? We hope not. But just in case, Chloe, Annalise and I have set out to program and install a home automation... Continue Reading →
My new team started a project that involves programming and building circuits. We are creating a system that will monitor the temperature, gas, humidity, sound, light, and motion in the airstream trailer at our school. There has been a problem with break-ins in the past, so we decided to create a system to prevent people... Continue Reading →
