In the past three classes, we were able to create a motor that reacts to sound as well as a prototype of a car. However, we have encountered many difficulties that still need to be resolved.
- The delay function in the code for the motor does not seem to be functioning. Once the motor turns on after detecting a sound, it does not turn off despite no longer having sound around.
- The motor is too weak to move the wheels of the car
- The motor control + Arduino Uno + Battery + Microphone is too heavy to be carried by car
To resolve these problems, we plan to take the following steps:
- Do more research on the Arduino coding system and seek help from teachers
- Considering adding another motor (We might also discard the “car” part of the final product)
- Construct a larger car or discard the “car” part of the final product
Feedback:
- What can be done to finalize the product?
- What can be done to achieve your initial goals?
- Decrease the sensitivity of the microphone so it does not pick up the sound of the motor
