TEJ3M/4M – Nov 27, 2014

The grade 12’s (TEJ4M) were to continue using the lego mindstorm robots.  The students should now be working on the final track which is an obstacle course I made (students will have to use the proximity, light and touch sensors).  I posted a copy of this track below so the students can see what they have to do.  This track is to be marked as an assignment.  Also, the students will have to submit their NXC code for this track as well (must be commented).

The grade 11’s (TEJ3M) should now be working on the “Arduino Boards”.  I gave the students a document titled “MEGA2560 Stater Kit Tutoral” which has all of the tutorials the students will need to complete the various circuits. I told them to do “Chapter 3 Blink LED”, “Chapter 4 PWM”, “Chapter 5 Advertising LED”, “Chapter 7 Traffic Light LED”, “Chapter 6 Buzzer”, “Chapter 9 Potentiometer” and “Chapter 20 Servo Motor” from the “MEGA2560 Stater Kit Tutoral” document. Once the students are finished the above arduino tutorials, they are to work on the arduino assignment titled “Nursery Rhyme – Baa Baa Black Sheep Assignment”. A copy of the assignment can be found below. Also, I will post 2 youtube videos below which are examples of what the students should be doing for the “Nursery Rhyme – Baa Baa Black Sheep Assignment”.

Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.

TEJ3M & TEJ4M – List of students work not submitted (updated) (The students can look at this list to see which assignments/worksheets they still need to hand in. Students MUST tell me when they hand something in so I can update the list)

Lego NXT robots using NXC tutorial – Part 1 (this is the coding examples for the “Bricx Command Centre” software – The TEJ4M students only)

Lego NXT robots using NXC tutorial – Part 2 (this is the coding examples for the “Bricx Command Centre” software – The TEJ4M students only)

Lego NXT robots using NXC tutorial – Part 3 (this is the coding examples for the “Bricx Command Centre” software – The TEJ4M students only)

Final Course (using the light, proximity & touch sensors) (This is the final obstacle course which the students have to do before completing the robotics unit.  The students are working in pairs for this final track because they were having technical issues with the robots kits)

MEGA2560 Starter Kit Tutorial (this document contains the tutorials the students will be working on with the arduino board)

Arduinio Blinking Light (Chapter 3) Picture Example (I showed this to the students in class to help them set up their arduino board with the laptop and breadboard trainer)

Nursery Rhyme – Baa Baa Black Sheep Assignment
