12. Input Devices¶
Group assignment¶
This week we played around with input devices, and measured the data that they send.
Software used this week¶
- Arduino IDE
- Autodesk Fusion
- Inkscape
Finished things¶
This week I decided to test different ways a bumper could detect a ball.
- Stepping on balls
Copied step response from Adrian Torres, and tested if it could detect a steel ball. It seems bigger is better for step response.
Step response - Shorting through balls
The simplest way to connect two pins: connect them with something metallic. The steel ball is metallic.
Shorting - Hiding under skirt
When one needs a single pulse event, a button is a tool for it. So I tried if it would work here.
