BEAUTIFUL AND CLEVER

The Monarch flashes its LEDs when its antennae touch. But it's also clever! It uses a clock source and shift register in a particular configuration in order to generate its patterns. Through it, one can learn about the basics of digital design, clocking, and randomness.

It is a third in a series of electronic 'bugs', the first is The Lady and the second is The Gent.

Introduction to Basic Electronics, Electronic Components and Projects | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Learning about basic electronics and creating your own projects is a lot easier than you may think.  In this tutorial, we’re going to give you a brief overview of common electronic components and explain what their functions are.  You will then learn about schematic diagrams and how they are used to design and build circuits.  And finally, you will put this information to use by creating your first basic circuit.

Homemade Propeller Car | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE #LEARNingByDoing  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Recommended Age Range: Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School (younger kids will need adult supervision and assistance since this project uses hot glue)Time Required: ~30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy


Cost: Around $10 in used supplies (The propeller is the most expensive component. I bought 4 of the one listed below for $16 total though the price fluctuates. It was $3.10 per propeller plus around $3 shipping and handling for all 4, so there is definitely a benefit to buying in bulk. A different, less expensive propeller could be used as long as it has a 2 mm shaft hole diameter.)

Mechatronics - Wikipedia

Mechatronics - Wikipedia

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of science that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering and control engineering. As technology advances, the subfields of engineering multiply and adapt. Mechatronics' aim is a design process that unifies these subfields.

A mechatronics engineer unites the principles of mechanics, electronics, and computing to generate a simpler, more economical and reliable system. The term "mechatronics" was coined by Tetsuro Mori, the senior engineer of the Japanese company Yaskawa in 1969. An industrial robot is a prime example of a mechatronics system; it includes aspects of electronics, mechanics, and computing to do its day-to-day jobs.

Engineering cybernetics deals with the question of control engineering of mechatronic systems. It is used to control or regulate such a system (see control theory). Through collaboration, the mechatronic modules perform the production goals and inherit flexible and agile manufacturing properties in the production scheme. Modern production equipment consists of mechatronic modules that are integrated according to a control architecture.

 

The most known architectures involve hierarchy, polyarchy, heterarchy, and hybrid. The methods for achieving a technical effect are described by control algorithms, which might or might not utilize formal methods in their design. Hybrid systems important to mechatronics include production systems, synergy drives, planetary exploration rovers, automotive subsystems such as anti-lock braking systems and spin-assist, and everyday equipment such as autofocus cameras, video, hard disks, and CD players.

Teaching Electronics to Kids: Mechanically Programmed (no Circuit Board) Obstacle Avoiding Robot | #MakerED | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Welcome to the exciting world of teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to your own kids or for charitable work. Kids are naturally curious about how things work, and with a new trend in hardware companies creating open source hardware products, it's a great time to teach kids about electronics. But modern technology can seem too complex to even begin to understand. So where do you start?

About the Robot: This robot will run on tile, wood, laminate, low cut carpet, or other smooth surfaces. As it is designed, it will not work on extremely rough surfaces such as concrete, shag or tall carpet, grass, and such. The rough cost of this robot should be less than $10. On average, about $5~7 dollars if you look. You can find the majority of these parts on Amazon, salvage from Goodwill, garage sales, or other places..

Didactic model of the "first transistor".In this project the models such as constructing a didactic model of the first transistor for which I made use of the materials that can be easily obtained, in addition to a little painting, the prototype / model I did on a scale a little larger than the original.

 

But from before, a bit of history.It all started at Bell Labs, where American physicists Jhon Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain, and William Shockley conducted experiments and observations to try to create a solid-state amplifier, making use of the properties of semiconductor materials, thus replacing the Vacuum used at that time.The above image shows the first transistor created at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, United States in 1947.

 

Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 for "their research on semiconductors, and the discovery of the transistor effect." Now we continue with the instructions...

NEW PRODUCTS – Star Simpson’s Circuit Classics! | #Electronics #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE

NEW PRODUCTS – Star Simpson’s Circuit Classics! | #Electronics #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Forrest M. Mims III is a trusted name in the electronics world for good reason: his charming and engaging texts have drawn millions of people into the world of electronics for the first time.

 

[Gust MEES] I agree!! I learned from him ;)

 

Star Simpson has created an electronic tribute to those hand-drawn circuits by bringing the projects to life. These kits are an exquisitely designed series of finely crafted and highly detailed boards. These are the Circuit Classics. They make a great gift for a first-time learner, an expert tinkerer, or even just as a fun conversation piece for your desk.

 

This initial release includes three of Forrest’s circuit designs in kit form: the Dual-LED Flasher, the Stepped Tone Generator, and the Bargraph Voltage Indicator. Each kit includes:

 

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB): Includes the circuit itself, the circuit’s schematic, and a description of the circuit, all in Forrest’s iconic hand-drawn style, traced directly from his books. (Prototypes are OSHPark purple, but the final production run will be blue.)
  • Through-hole Components: All the components you need to build a working circuit. Easy to place and solder on the PCB thanks to clear footprints and large, friendly solder pads.
  • Display Stand: made of high-quality blond ash wood, each stand is crafted to let you proudly display your work.

How To Solder: A Complete Beginners Guide | #Soldering | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces

How To Solder: A Complete Beginners Guide | #Soldering | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
One of the most fundamental skills a maker should be able to master is the ability to solder electronics.  Whether you’re building a robot or working with Arduino, knowing how to solder will come in handy.  The best thing about soldering is that it’s really fun to learn and easy to master.

What Is Soldering?

If you were to take apart any electronic device that contains a circuit board, you’ll see the components are attached using soldering techniques.  Soldering is the process of joining two or more electronic parts together by melting solder around the connection.  Solder is a metal alloy and when it cools it creates a strong electrical bond between the parts.  Even though soldering can create a permanent connection, it can also be reversed using a desoldering tool as described below.

When advising about Makerspace activities its fascinating to find how many people do not know the basic skill of soldering.  This article is a step-by-step- guide.

Maker-First Steps in Electronics-Light guided rotating and moving plastic container | #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Light guided rotating and moving plastic container. In previous Maker tutorials WE were using LEDs and vibration motors, WE will continue with it and adding some NEW components: a transistor and a LDR (Light-Dependent Resistor). WE will use ALSO AGAIN a plastic container, this time a transparent one so that persons could see…
