Robot Art Show
Evidence of Work:
DRIVING QUESTION: If robots were to take over, what would their art look like?
We started off by learning about breadboards, circuits, and electronics using many Electronics Experiments. After doing multiple experiments, we completed the Blinky Light Quiz, which was a lot like the experiments, but it was treated as a quiz. Afterwards, we worked on sketches from the Arduino Board. the sketches helped us learn about Arduino and its programming language, so that we could move on to make our own code. My partner and I were very new to programming and coding, so we kept our art show simple enough for us to understand. We worked very well together and organized everything that had to be done. Our final product was a karaoke machine for the song "Marry Had A Little Lamb". We used a functioning LCD screen that we programmed to play the lyrics that corresponded to the music that played from a speaker that was also hooked up to the same circuit board. We had extra time left over, so we set up a separate bread board with LED's that lit up whenever the LCD screed played the word "lamb". We then presented or art show to the class with a small description, and showed all of our components. Below is a video of our Robot in action.

This project included many obstacles due to our lack of coding knowledge, but we did our best to push through. Although our design may not be the most complicated, it focuses on aesthetics and the basics of coding.

To further plan our our code, we made a blueprint, which is shown to the right. My partner and I shared equal workloads, and this was one of the things that I contributed with. I mostly enjoyd working with the tangible parts of the project, such as designing the breadboard and blueprint, while my partner excelled in the programming sections.
