This project involved more practical than theory skills. It was all about the ability to build something, being able to write the code and make it work just by using a little board called Arduino. I always thought how people make robots and this project gave me an insight of what it is and how things are made on a higher scale. This was such a great experience as I really enjoyed doing something that I never done before and in fact, it is really fascinating me.
The project itself required several skills. Being able to research everything that was required for the build was vital. Sourcing the right materials required was a difficult task to perform. Another skill that was required within this project is to use the Arduino software for the very first time. Everything looks rather small and it was hard to get used to all the controls and menus. Putting the code inside the software involved searching through the web and some previous gained knowledge. Building the robot was the best part as I love assembling electronic parts, whether it is a computer, remote control car or in this case an UnoTron.
All of the above allowed me to learn something new in my academic life and I am very happy that I could take part in building such an amazing project. Although things did not go as they should, because my robot is not doing what it supposed to do, sometimes it is better to learn on our own mistakes and perform much better in the future. I’d like to thank you for your time reading my posts associated with the Arduino UnoTron.
