Week 12.4 - A3 Coding

 A3 Coding - Wasn't on the right track but now I hopefully am

Coding for this has been a nightmare.

The good news is that I finally got the LED light working, where I can turn it on and off with the remote thanks to the help of another collegue. The video below shows that achivement.

The bad news is that instead of trying to use the infrared led senders and transmitters that I have, I have been strongly advised to switch and insteead buy beam breakers, which I found and orderded today cause trusty Jaycar don't have it.

Though good news as well is that the display screen works! The video below shows me using code from this website: https://lastminuteengineers.com/oled-display-arduino-tutorial/

The website was a massive help and explained each component of the code, so I understood it and know how to covert and adapt what I need into my final A3 code.

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.

Week 13.7 - A3 Presentation

It was such a relief to have this presentation over with. I enjoyed walking around and seeing what everyone else did, their designs and their videos. The belwo videos is a quick video of my groups presentation and our products.
