Week 9

Forge @ DePaul — assignment notes

What I made

This week, we are connecting Input and Output device. I went with a simple setup of a Potentiometer as input device and a Servo motor as output device

wiring — This is the Metro board + breadboard setup

setup test — Ran some tests that the potentiometer is outputting signals and that the motor is working as well.

mapping — Here, we are trying to map the degrees of motor to degrees on the potentiometer. In theory it should work!

board — Here was an initial attempt at printing a "shield" board for ESP32. Instead of using a breadboard.

Reflection

This week, I learned more in detail, through practice, about the properties of a potentiometer and servo motor. And how to connect an input and output components to a board to perform a function.
