Passion project is where students can grow there intrests in a certain area. The only limit on this project is you imagination.
We were challenged to push our knowledge to the test and design anything you want. The hardest part that I found was to figure out where my intrests lie and once I figured that out it was just figuring out how I can apply a project to the topic. I like the topic of security and robotic engineering so I applied the two to make a security tracking robotic nerf turret. My passion project idea was to make a facial following nerf turret using raspberry pi running raspbian OS. The following will be controlled by stepper motors for the X and Y axises. There will also be a web cam attached to the gun to detect and see movement within the room or it can have interactive mode where u control it. The gun Was hooked up to a relay so the fireing can be controlled my a micro processor. there is a ada fruit stepper motor controller that is used to control the stepper motors. |
