This month saw all of our hard work pay off with our field trip to Gregynog. Our micromouse was assessed for its ability in combat, obstacle avoidance and white line following. We gave a presentation on our time working on the mouse, with each team members perspective on their experience. Read more…
For this ethical problem I find myself in the position where I discover that there is a major flaw with the design of a car, as a result there is a high chance of one of the first production cars causing serious injury or killing a pedestrian. As members of Read more…
This month was the conclusion of our micromouse project. We completed the physical build of the micromouse. This included the shell, the touchbars, the IR sensors and the white line sensors. Additionally, our special features were completed. This included the indicator lights and reverse lights which simulates an autonomous vehicle. Read more…
This month we made good progress. The micromouse is almost completed and we should be able to have the product ready for the trip to Gregynnog. The features we focussed on this month included the finished PCB, the shell design, and the coding. Hafiz designed the shell to add space Read more…
Following on from the last blog post I have since finished the construction of the PCB and have successfully tested it, this is a big step as the PCB features the circuitry of our IR sensors and special feature. This then allows for a more complete construction of the Micromouse. Read more…
As the new semester kicks off after exams, our team picks up where we left off, making significant strides in our ongoing projects. Nayim and Jamie focus on enhancing the micromouse’s touch bar and IR sensor, and Nayim have been working on the white line following ensuring that the micromouse Read more…
In February I continued working on the website as i added some documentation to the website and worked on the feedback given to me to make the website better and easier for the reader to go through all of the sections on the website like the documentation section and the Read more…
Between November and the end of February, we completed work on the IR sensor circuit and printed the PCB. After the Christmas period, we started work on the white line following for the micromouse. I created the initial breadboard design of the light dependant resistor circuit. This allows the microcontroller Read more…
After tackling our exams, we got back to work with our Micromouse. Over the month so far I have been busy soldering our PCB, this was after I had drilled the required holes for the components and sanded the PCB into a circular shape. Our PCB contains our special feature Read more…
In November, Nayim and Jamie focused on the Touch Bar and IR sensor for our micromouse early on. Jamie shifted to PCB designing by mid-November, while Nayim worked on two special features (Indicator lights and buzzer) and their coding. Meanwhile, Ibrahim dedicated himself to developing our team’s website, showcasing our Read more…
