Taking a break from previous activities, we built basic VEX "square bots" as a precursory toward concepts of mechanical structure, build technique and creativity.
When the robot was finished
(over the weekend, at home, as class-time is now desperately needed to catch up on other activities....
and it's robots....which is like, the ultimate hobby),
it was handed over to a team of programmers who, after some technical difficulties, installed matching firmware and a basic VEX robot drive program to allow manual operation of the robot via a wireless controller. Once the robot was successfully paired with the operator controller and demonstrated to be in proper working order, it was set aside and we began building our logic probes.
After demonstrating an understanding of basic transistor theory and uses in simple circuits, we set to the task of prototyping a simple Hi-Low voltage logic probe on breadboards before be signed off to finalize the design on a small circuitboard. Sans the PWR and GND cables, the above picture represents all the hardware necessary and soldered in place.
