You might be wondering, "what's this site for?"
As you've aleady most probably seen above, I made this website
to showcase my
case studies for our Robotics Subject. We were given Junkbot kits
to explore
and learn from. If you're interested, here's their site so you
can check them out:
Junkbot
SOME LITTLE BACKGROUND
I'm Ayman Calbe, a 17 year old (as of the creation of this website) studying under the STEM Field, living and surviving in the UAE. It's a wonderful country, you should visit some time! Anyways, this wesbite contains my Case Studies for the different sensors and parts of the Junkbot. Check them all out! Or not, your choice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Moving on, make sure to check my Accounts (follow my IG) linked at the bottom of the website and my Profile. Have fun exploring!
Junkbot Core
(Arduino Board)
You'll need the the main board to do these case studies. It is based on the Arduino NANO. Check their site out for more details.
Sensors &
Components
You'll need many different sensors and components to put your board to use. Again, check their site out for more details.
A
Computer
You'll need a computer to program the codes that your board will perform along with the sensor and components attached. The programming tool made for the Junkbot Kit is also on their site.
Case Studies
Buzzer
The buzzer is a simple Piezo Transducer that produces some beeps. Piezo Transducers are similar to speakers in that an applied voltage causes the piezo crystal to move and make a sound. Buzzers can be found in many devices such as alarm clocks, computers, timers, etc.
Ultrasonic Sensor
An Ultrasonic sensor is a device that utilizes ultrasonic waves, or just sound waves, to measure distance.
Smart Security Alarm
This Alarm uses three components, namely the Buzzer, the Ultrasonic Sensor, and the LED. As the name suggests, it is an alarm designed to produce sounds and lights when it detects something nearby.
Disco Box
The Disco Box is a box with the components Buzzer and RGB LED to produce sounds and lights, respectively, in order to provide a Disco-like "show." Sounds and Lights are synchronized to achieve this.
