Activity: Super Project: Mechatronics

Your mission for this project is to design and create an object that integrates both a microcontroller and multiple physical objects that you fabricate, either digitally or by hand. The object must be controlled through multiple inputs (meaning that it needs to be controlled by more than a single on/off switch), or it should be controlled by an environmental sensor (like, for example, a temperature, audio, flex, or proximity sensor).

You do not have to write your own code for this project—if you find the appropriate code for the microcontroller online, feel free to use it.

As you brainstorm your design and work your way through multiple versions and iterations, document the process in your design notebook.

When you are finished with the object, demonstrate it for an instructor and show the instructor your design notebook. Post evidence of it working (photos or videos) below.

Remember, you must be logged in to be able to submit your photo or video.
