For this project, a trackball mouse designed by Brickbots on GitHub was modified to fit a Teensy 2.0 microcontroller. A trackball mouse is a type of computer mouse where you rotate a ball to move the cursor instead of moving the entire mouse. These can be used as a more ergonomic alternative to regular mice since you don’t have to move your whole hand as much, and they take up less space on your desk. To achieve this, several parts of the trackball had to be modified. Through this process, you can learn a bit about designing parts in SolidWorks and about custom firmware for controlling sensors.

Project report
The three-wheeled holonomic robot is built and programmed exclusively from resources available at Signature MakerSpace.
The coding of the robot is done through MATLAB Simulink on an Arduino Uno, and the framework is constructed of acrylics using the laser cutter available in the mechatronics lab.

Project report
The report describes the development and design of a simple, light, and compact robotic hand that uses servo motors to mimic hand gestures. The program is developed in Arduino’s IDE, and compiled to run on an Arduino UNO R3 development board

Project report
The idea behind the project was to create a prototype for a basic temperature sensor, which could display its readings on a 16x2 LCD screen. Other features of the Arduino board were also explored during development.
