ProCodeCG – Young Scientist Competition – Coaching – 20 Jan 2019

The first Young Scientist Competition Coaching to prepare the participants for the international competition 🙂

Fadhlan had to present and demo his work

The presenter before us

Fadhlan’s Team while waiting 😉

Time for presentation

And the robot needed some tinkering to make it work again because Fadhlan had built it from scratch

The judges

One of the judges: Pak Janto V. Sulungbudi, lend us 18650 awt batteries, he helped installing the batteries too 🙂

Still not working, must be the wiring or bad wires

So we had to delay the demo until we make this work 😀

We did everything: change the power supply, add it, connect it in parallel, in serial, divide them and all, still not working. Everything on the breadboard that connected to Arduino works, but the wheels just wouldn’t.

We checked the wheels and the DC motors by giving power directly and they worked properly. we suspect the motor controller but we didn’t bring any spares.

We worked for hours. After lots cups of coffee and tea 😀

We did soldering, and unsoldering, and then it left us with one possibility: wires connecting to the dc motors. And after we changes them, it works! 😀 Fadhlan glue gunned the connecting wires to secure them and apparently it burned the wires and make them stop working (next time no glue-gunning connecting wires!)

Back to the judges

Ok the robot worked nicely, only the ultrasonic sensor didn’t give any readings. Must be the wires 🙂 But at least now we know what the problem is 🙂

Judges gave suggestions on what to do to upgrade the robot, and we have to make weekly reports. This is a very valuable experience and a great honour for ProCodeCG to be a part of this awesome event. We’ll be working on this for a year, if we make it to the next stage, we’ll see 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 19 Jan 2019

Hello hello let’s check out some progress this week 😉

Aidia is seriously working on his Traffic Light System for Hamster 🙂

this is actually a project collaboration with the mom 😉

a very awesome teamwork! 😉 mom works on the design and Aidia works on the electronics 🙂

The traffic light will be activated when the ultrasonic detects any hamster passing through, and then the gate will be opened 🙂

the debugging process using 2 Arduinos

And now it works just fine 🙂

Agham is creating a School Bus Game 🙂

setting up the background

setting up the bus

getting some help from Ka Badi 🙂

working on some codes the make it changes room

Djalu is modifying the virus to be able to infect more files or different kind of files 😉

In programming, you should be consistent and precise. Even missing a tab will give significant result

Badi is still struggling with how to display the fuel indicator 🙂

Badi is helping Agham with the code

And then go back to his own code, trying to figure out what’s wrong with the fuel observer

We refer to Mohan’s note to check that we have done everything right

Farrell is now ready to test the gyro

Finding some references

Testing the controller

Testing the gyro

Ok it works 🙂 Next time we will try to control the movement using small joystick

Harraz is working on the Mario Bros Game

And suddenly wants to do BreakOut Game 🙂

Captain on Duty: Faris

Faishal is given a hard GUI project 😀

What he got so far 🙂 Very nice 🙂

The GUI can do calculations depends on how many items is selected by the customer

Koosha *never likes to be in pics 😀

He reported this awesome progress

presenting the MeowCorp Website 🙂

can be accessed via mobile too 🙂

It has login page

and proper pop up warnings

and it gives you more access when you log in as admin

incredible work, Koosha 🙂

He demoed this IoT RGB Light too 😉 using NodeMCU and Blynk

And now he wants to test this RF transmitter and receiver 🙂 Go ahead! We’re going to need it for Fadhlan’s next robotics project 😉

Many topics and many projects as always 🙂 This is what we call spending weekend productively 😉

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Coding Class – 18 Jan 2019

This is how we start our weekend 😉

Arsa is going to finish the Flappy Bird Game today 🙂

Yasss, finished 😉

Daffa needed some challenges

so that we started doing Blockly Games 😉

Captain on Duty: Capt. Bullitt. Very busy checking codes and helping those with Arduinos 🙂

Faisal *having lunch 🙂

The task for today 🙂

 

debugging

and works 🙂

Shaby needed some challenges to like Daffa 🙂

Shaby learned a lot about basic programming again today 🙂 He’s gone through many levels on Blockly Games 🙂

Isma’ill also has target for today 🙂

Isma’ill will code to make a button works 🙂

Ok the button worked! Next is to control another components with button 😉

Raees

checked up his Flappy Bird

and then decided to join the Blockly Games squad 😀 And apparently he liked it a lot 😉

Khalis voluntarily chose to make Flappy Bird today

 

and then he wanted to do Blockly too 😀

Sometimes the class want to do different new thing 🙂 Our job is to make sure that they learn something 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 12 Jan 2019

Hello, hello! Everybody has project to do today 🙂

Fadhlan is going to connect the robot to the power source and make sure that it works today

The robot looks so brand new and neat

We’re going to power the dc motors with 4 1,5V batteries and power Arduino with 9V battery or usb (to pc or to powerbank)

Taking a break 😀

Badi starts to create his Race Car Game

Aidia is working on a Traffic Light Project using ultrasonic sensor

The schematic

Testing

 

debugging

Ok now it works 🙂 Next we’re going to add micro servo to open and close the gate 🙂

Sulaiman is exploring interesting structures in Minecraft

We’re aiming at creating a school locker system

or a digital calculator

Harraz’ project is to create a game like Mario Bros

Djalu (wearing green shirt) is still experimenting with encryption and virus in Python 🙂

Sam makes steady progress each time. He’s developing an app to memorize Qur’an

The codes

Welcome back Farrell 🙂 Farrell wants to make a simple flight control simulator using ultrasonic sensor 🙂

Testing the sensor

the code

didn’t work

debugging, trying every possibility

even with tempe to detect LOL and finally we change ALL the connecting wires and it worked 😀

Captain on Duty

Ajez and the Maze Game 🙂

Making improvements and going to make another game 😉

Mohan showed Badi how to create a fuel bar for the race car game

and then Mohan created a BreakOut Game 🙂

There will always be projects, and research, and new things to learn in this class 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Coding Class – 11 Jan 2019

Our first class this semester 🙂

Arsa needs some time to warm up the engine 🙂

Arsa was given a task to create a Flappy Bird Game

but he decided to revisit his last game 🙂

Faisal forgot to bring the laptop charger *calling home for help 🙂

so Faisal joined Danen doing the project 🙂

Capt. Bullit (having lunch before teaching 🙂 )

checking some codes

helping Danen

Hanif made a huge progress today 🙂

He’s creating a Race Car Game in GameMaker Studio 2

It is obviously harder than using GameMaker Lite, but Hanif managed 🙂

really impressive progress 🙂

Khalis wanted to make BreakOut Game today 🙂

A very creative design and background 🙂

Danen helped checking the attendance list

And then working on the project for today

Daffa had to do Flappy Bird today 🙂

He still needs to decorate the room 😉

Raees is working on Flappy Bird too 🙂

 

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Now we need more rooms and some object following view 😉

Andra is going to make a Race Car Game

like this one

Not bad at all for the first class after a long holiday 🙂 Nice work and progress, kids 🙂 Until next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 29 Dec 2018

Saturday routines of productivity 🙂

Fadhlan got loads to do with the robot 😀

A fresh new look 😉

And we have 3 newcomers:

Dita

Dita had finished Intro to Programming with Minecraft Hour of Code

and then move on to Blockly Games

Fitri also gone through the same thing

and Putri, finished the intro with Minecraft

but didn’t want Blockly Games and prefer LightBot 😉

All three girls have completed the tasks very well 🙂 Well done for an intro, hoping to see them again 🙂
