Design Challenge: Using Sensors Objective: Create a device using Lego, two sensors, an Arduio and NetLogo that will draw a shape or a graph. Throughout the activity you are going to experience uncertainties. As those uncertainties emerge, identify the different ways that you might mathematize the design. You will make modifications to your design in light of the mathematizing. As your device is created, determine possible everyday applications that you might be able to create. Materials: Arduino laptop with NetLogo assorted Lego sensors Task 1: Set up Connect the sensors to the Arduio. Plug the Arduio into the USB port on the lap top. Open NetLogo. Press the setup/ go button to have the sensor’s signals create an image on the display area. Sensor 1 is for . . . . . .and sensor 2 is for . . . . Task 2: Getting Familiar with Sensors Move your hands above the two different sensors such that you draw a square in NetLogo. Task 3: Create a device using Lego and two sensors that will draw a shape (square, circle, triangle) Extensions: a linear graph an acceleration graph a sinusoidal graph a parabola
