Firefighting Robot

My lab partner and I have been progressively working on building a robot that is designed to travel through a simple maze and then put out a small flame. The robot would have to be capable of locating a wall and being able to turn and navigate through the maze. Then,...

Robot Wheel

For this assignment, I was tasked with producing a hub that would securely fit onto a stepper motor shaft and then create a wheel with the securely fitting hub for my firefighting robot. My first step during this process was to get the dimensions of the stepper motor...

Flame sensor and Relay(Fan)

For this assignment I was tasked with creating a system that uses a flame sensor, relay, and Arduino board to turn on a fan once a flame or UV light is detected. The Arduino uses the relay as a switch that turns the fan on and off. Once a flame or UV light is...

Ultrasonic sensor and servo

I created a system in which an ultrasonic sensor detected motion at a certain distance and sent a message to a servo to spin the motor 180 degrees. I used code found in the link below to get my system to function properly. Servo Motor & Ultrasonic Sensor –...

Stepper Motor Mount

I was assigned the task of producing a mount to hold my 28BYJ-48 stepper motor for a future project. The link to the image I used to design this mount bracket is below. 28BYJ-48 (cookierobotics.com) My first step to complete this assignment was to draw the bracket to...
