The problem presented to the class was to build a fire fighting robot out of an Arduino that can navigate a maze in order to extinguish a flame. The maze or track that the robot had to navigate was in the shape of an L. The track had to be successfully maneuver two...

This circuit is comprised of a relay switch, a flame sensor, a fan, a breadboard, and the Arduino to control the circuit. The fan’s negative is grounded to the breadboard, while the fan’s positive is attached to the relay switch’s Normally Open. The...

For this project, I was tasked with automating a servo motor to open when an object was within two feet of the ultrasonic sensor and close when that object was no longer present, much like an automatic door. A servo motor normally operates between 0 and 180 degrees,...

The wheel needed to move the Firefighting Arduino Capstone Project, was 3D printed using a Prusa Mini with generic plastic as the filament and set the print settings to 0.15mm QUALITY. I first designed the hub of the wheel for the stepper motor to fit in. Then,...

In order to mount the stepper motor to the chassis of the Firefighting Arduino Capstone Project, we needed to create a mount that could hold the stepper motor in place and attach properly to the chassis. To make the motor mount, I used a Prusa Mini 3D printer with...
