Second Team Meeting

All members were present at the meeting. We wrote the Arduino code and created a few example parts.

Here is the code we are going to use for the bubble machine:

	//BUBBLE MACHINE
	//Linda Pratto, Thomas Monaghan, Kevin Healy, Joshua Gardner
	//Red LED connected to pin 13:
	const int ledPin = 13;
	#include <Servo.h> // servo library
	Servo servo1; // servo control object
	//DC Motor connected to pin 9:
	const int motorPin = 9;
	void setup()
	{
	//Set up the LED as an output
	pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
	//Servo motor connected to pin 10:
	servo1.attach(10);
	//DC motor defined as output
	pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
	Serial.begin(9600);
	}
	void loop()
	{
	//LED starts out off
	digitalWrite(13, LOW);
	delay(500);
	//servo motor starts out in the vertical position
	int position;
	servo1.write(90);
	delay(2000);
	//rotates to the horizontal position, then returns to vertical
	servo1.write(0);
	delay(2000);
	//LED turns on
	digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
	delay(500);
	int onTime = 5000; // milliseconds to turn the motor on
	int offTime = 2000; // milliseconds to turn the motor off
	digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH); // turn the motor on (full speed)
	delay(onTime); // delay for onTime milliseconds
	digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW); // turn the motor off
	delay(offTime); // delay for offTime milliseconds
	}

Next, we designed the mount for the servo motor:

We want to reduce the height of the mount and simplify it to use less material.

Next, we designed the dish that we will use for the bubble juice:

 This part may also be changed once we find out if it needs to be more wide or shallow.

The last part we designed this week is a bracket for the DC Motor:
