Robo-Artist, Panning Solar, & Auto-Chicken door

During my time at Learnmark HTX, I got to do many interesting projects. From builing an automatic chicken door that enable hen to pass-through at day, but keeps them safe at night. To a robot that automatically draws shapes onto a blackboard. My first project being a simple rotary chicken grill, which you could adjust. Read on to learn what knowledge i gained from this experience.

Tech A - Mechatronic

This was a course in structural ingenuity, from learning the math behind why metals bend, and their material properties, to learning the fundamentals of how to control sensory input by way of an Arduino - We used those skills to solve tangible problems, both in theory and in practice.

Robot Artist

While our group worked on the Automatic Chicken Door, one of the other groups were having trouble with their software implementation. They came up with the great Idea of making a robot that could draw on Blackboards for you.

However they couldn't get the software to work, motors were spinning fine, but the mapping was way off. - So they asked me for help and together we found the solution, you can see our result on the right :)
