Week 08: Output Devices

Group Assignment

For this weeks group asssignment, we were taught how to measure power consumption with Marcelo and Erik.

We began with looking at Marcelo's walking robot.

First, we used the Power Analyzer to output power through the robot and then measure it.

We were also taught how to measure power consumption with a multimeter.

Individual Assignment

For my individual assignment, I wanted to make a game where people could whack around the oloid I made for molding and casting week.

I used two stepper motors and designed a paddle/fin attachment for the motor to actuate.

The design works somewhat, but for some reason my push button kept bricking my ESP32. I will have to work on it more later.
