As of January 23rd, 2020, our project is about three fourths of the way completed. We are building a motion activated bubble machine. Here are the complete instructions to complete the project.  (Project...

Today s0cceRcat23 continued to write the code for our Arduino. Also, we both researched more on how to code for our project. I soldered together our disk motor and propeller motor. After we finish our...

Today s0cceRcat23 began to code. She was taught some by BBcats, and wrote a few lines of code. I tried to solder together the motors for our disk and propeller, but because of the difficult angle, it didn't...

Today s0cceRcat23 and I cut some things and glued most of our bubble machine pieces. After testing it out, we found that the slot we had made in our trough was too small for the disk, so we took an X-Acto...

Today s0cceRcat23 and I learned and practiced soldering. We watched two videos, and then got a demonstration. After that we each practiced twice with little pieces of wire. Next class we hope to solder...

Today s0cceRcat23 and I glued our bottle cap to the CD and then our motor to the bottle cap. We used hot glue because it makes a strong bond, and dries quickly. We chose to glue our motor to the cap because...

Today, s0cceRcat23 and I received three of our ordered parts. We now have our Arduino PIR motion sensor,  DC motor, and the propeller. We are yet to get our gear motor and rechargeable battery, so we...

Today s0cceRcat and I planned out exactly where all of our wood pieces will go. We did not glue the pieces yet because without the motors, we can't be absolutely sure of their measurements. We also discussed...

Today s0cceRcat23 and I sanded down our CD and a piece of wood acting as one of the legs for our bubble machine. After drilling the holes in our CD last class, we noticed that there were dried bits of...

Today, s0cceRcat23 and I cut out all seven of our wood pieces using the scroll saw. Along with the wood, we cut our water bottle with an X-ACTO knife, and drilled holes in our CD using the drill press....

While waiting for our ordered materials to come, s0cceRcat23 and I assigned what materials that we have at home that we should bring in. We also went over the design for our machine and all of the soldering,...

Today, I finished our project order. This included all of the materials we need, their cost, and where we are going to order them from. We edited our original project order by taking away the plywood...
