ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 14 Oct 2017

Hello hello! We are reporting our Saturday regular kids coding class 🙂

Cinta spent two sessions working on PCB design and simulation using Proteus 🙂

She was very excited 🙂

Cinta started with resistors, buttons and LED’s

Proteus can be connected to Arduino IDE

Then Cinta added more and more components to her design 🙂

An awesome way to simulate 🙂 Next lesson Cinta will be given task to simulate a Tic Tac Toe on Arduino 😉

Helloooo Ruben was back 🙂

This was where we left: creating and ultrasonic counter 🙂

Capt. Faris helped Ruben with the code

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

And after several debugging, installing, and testing, it worked 🙂

And then Ruben was given this: adding buzzer and lamp to the previous one 🙂 So that when the counter reaches certain number, the buzzer will be active and so will the LED 🙂

Ruben likes to assemble things 🙂

The LED worked but not yet the buzzer 🙂

Will work on it next week 😉

Koosha had a new project 🙂

First he collected the components and the tools

Including this light to give better light

Koosha prepared lots of breadboards, buttons and RGB LEDs

He wouldn’t tell what he was doing 😀

We had to make lots of guess

Until…

Koosha was working on a Tic Tac Toe on Arduino 🙂

Excellent idea! 🙂

He still has to add more resistors and wires and also the coding, and we will continue working on it next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 7 Oct 2017

Our regular Saturday 🙂

Everybody has (very serious) things to do 🙂

Reza was ready to explore microservo with buttons 🙂

 

Reza was assigned to code the Arduino to control microservo with 2 buttons

And after lots of effort and debugging

… he finished the assignment. One button will turn the micro servo clockwise and the other one will turn the micro servo counter-clockwise 😉

Koosha was still working on the elevator project 🙂

He had lots of ideas to be implemented

We will use this SD-card module to store sounds for the elevator. We were going to do the read and write test but just realized that Koosha didn’t bring the memory card 😀

So we tested the LCD 🙂

Yeah, looking good 🙂

This is going to be an awesome elevator 😉

We will do more projects next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming – 8 July 2017

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming today 🙂

We had a newcomer, Emma 🙂

Emma is interested to learn C so she was given an intro to Arduino to try some C-like language 🙂

Hello Rafi welcome back 🙂

Rafi picked up where he left more than a month ago 🙂

He created an animation of charging battery 🙂

Raul was also catching up with stuff too 🙂 He was working on synchronized clock via internet through wifi on board ESPectro 🙂

Ruben had finished multiple LEDs last week. Today he learned about RGB LED

Under Capt. Faris’ supervision 😉

This cute little guy took notes! A rare scene! Kids should be taught to do this! 🙂

Ruben seems to have another calling too: drawing 🙂

Ok, with Capt. Faris assistance,

Ruben has also finished to make a button worked too 😉

Hello Rezky 🙂

Rezky fixed what didn’t work the last time

He redid the button and button to serial section, and both worked nicely!

Abdillah was given a task to create a counter with an ultrasonic sensor

It worked perfectly with an Arduino 🙂

The ultrasonic sensor will count how many objects detected 🙂

Next is to make this work with ESPectro so we can send the data via cloud 🙂

and make LCD I2C works with ESPectro

Abdillah was helping Rezky with library errors 🙂

Rezvan was back too 🙂  Working with button to serial

And worked nicely! Next is button with LED 🙂

Capt. Malik (started to have being in a pic :D) was working on air-drum project 🙂

We’ve got lots of project going not only in the class but also when the kids are off the class 😉 There gonna be lots of progress next Saturday 🙂 Can’t wait 😉

 

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – IoT Programming – Day #1 – 22 June 2017

Day #1 of IoT Programming 🙂 We have 3 kids for this topic 🙂

Today we did some ESPectro setup and configuration, and then started basics about ESPectro. We learned about LED, button and neopixel. We created some cool stuff about neopixel on board, like creating knight rider and traffic light with pedestrian button 😉

Here’s the pics of each kid with their works 🙂

Ardian

 

Dea

Abdillah

Tomorrow we will learn about sensor 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming – 22 April 2017

Our ESPectro Programming class yesterday 🙂 Muhammad arrived early and set up the class, thanks so much 🙂

Yesterday we finishing some installation and start testing the ESPectro starting from LED, button, and then neopixel. Some had tried the wifi connection as well 🙂

This is Ren (left side, with glasses) assisting Nafis to debug his program 🙂

Naifs was so excited that the installation was completely done and he could start exploring the development board 😉

Muhammad was catching up with the handout, he was testing the neopixel

Reza creating the traffic light with neopixel and button for pedestrian crossing 🙂

Ren completed all the task given 🙂

Danesh started following handout from the beginning, from LED to button 🙂 He will probably start the neopixel next week 🙂

Raul quickly finished his neopixel traffic light and tried the wifi connection coding

Some codes was already in the example sketches, but most of them should be typed manually 🙂

But if you bear with it, things will work 😉

Reza was doing modification on wifi connecting code so it can detect more than one connection 🙂

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

We will explore more about wifi connections next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming – 15 April 2017

Our class today before most of the kids showing up 🙂 Very few learning ESPectro Programming today, probably because of the long weekend 🙂

Clarence continued his ESPectro projects, which usually different with what’s been taught in the class 😀

Ren catching up with what he missed next week 🙂

He finished button and button to serial

And neopixel coding. He will continue the neopixel traffic light next week 🙂

After a month, Nafis was back 🙂

We needed to install libraries and drivers before we get started 🙂

Lucky that we have a handy handout we can always refer to! 🙂

We will start IoT Programming very soon, as soon as each kid’s infrastructure is ready 🙂

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino Programming – 25 Feb 2017

Our regular awesomeness 😉

Capt. Awa had finished the task to be done today (he had already made a video :D), so he was ready to assist the class today 😉

Today we had two tasks: creating stopwatch with 2 buttons and smart lamp with RGB LED 😉  This is a Captain Meeting, discussing what to be delivered in class and making sure that the schematic works fine 😉

Friendship in class 😉 Hello welcome back Farrell 😉

Farrell’s SSTV Project has to wait (due to the expensive components :D) so Farrell should stick with what’s given in the class 🙂

Clarence made lots of progress with the TFT LCD 😉 He created lots of screen effects and cool modifications 😉

Clarence was curious on how to use button. Lucky that we did a project with buttons today, so Clarence can follow the class while doing his own project 😉

Clarence made stopwatch with one button instead of two 🙂 and send the output to the screen 🙂

He kept modifying the code and make the stopwatch works with nice display 🙂

Next target is to display the stopwatch in analog 🙂

Capt. Awa (middle) assisting Areli (left) and Nafis (right)

We had a kid sitting in the class today 🙂 His name is Ansyah 😉

Nice view 😉

Capt. Awa was very busy making sure everybody had got it right 😀

Impressive dedication, Areli 🙂

Got the feeling that soon Areli’s box should be replaced with bigger one 😀

Zahran was back 🙂

After a while, Zahran came back to catch up 😉

Nafis was really happy today for some reasons: we didn’t use seven segments and he had lots of friends 🙂

Capt. Awa assisting Ozan (on the back) and Farrell (in the corner)

Whoaaaa, why so serious, Capt. Reza? 😀

Reza is a very determined and focus kid. Very reliable Captain 🙂

Thanks Capt. Awa for helping so many kids today 😉

The stopwatch 😉

Ren finished his job easily, like always 🙂

Ozan doing his schematic under very close supervision of Capt. Awa :

And it worked, yay! (They use jacket slave to cover the LDR entirely so the RGB LED will light up 😀

Next week we’ll do more interesting projects 😉 See you then 🙂

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino Programming – 28 Jan 2017

Hello Saturday! Today is a holiday but we got this room fully packed with kids eager to learn 🙂 *this pic was earlier today before all kids showed up 🙂

Yaaay, we got Capt. Reza getting prepared 🙂

We made a roll-the-dice schematic today 🙂 With 7 LEDs and 1 button, we roll the dice by pressing the button and 6 LEDs will light up in random while 1 LED in the middle tells us when it’s “rolling” 🙂 Pretty fun!

Farrell was still so into his SSTV project but still waiting for the components (needs approval from parents to buy them 😀 ) so he probably will continue his gyroscope project 🙂

Hello Raul, hopefully today the schematic will work just fine! 🙂

The captains 🙂

Kids occupied with their own things 🙂

Rafi was working on RGB LED schematic today 🙂

Ozan thought the schematic was a bit cryptic so he gave us that look 😀

Halfway to finish the schematic 🙂

Whoaaa today is Raul’s lucky day! The schematic worked immediately (with no errors :D) Impressive work 🙂

This is what Ozan looks like when he doesn’t want to be in a pic 😀

Rheino was copying Raul’s schematic from the breadboard 🙂

Rafi was typing the code

Come on Farrell you need to move on for a while from SSTV. Let’s do Air Drum prototyping instead 🙂

Capt. Malik arrived

Malik is working on Air Drum Project but we have problem with the libraries that won’t work on his laptop

We had the libraries reinstalled, download more libraries and copy it to different Arduino libraries folder and still didn’t work :((

Captain’s discussion 🙂

So how are you doing with that schematic Rheino? 😀

Rafi was pretty happy to see his RGB LED worked 😉

It took a while to finish the schematic 🙂

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

And finally, Capt. Reza’s worked too 😉 Look at that smile! Handsome guy 🙂

The closer look at Reza’s roll-the-dice schematic 🙂 He helped Rheino and Ozan with this one 🙂

We will do more interesting schematic next week for sure! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Reguler Coding Class – Arduino Programming – 21 Jan 2017

Our Saturday fun 🙂

We had lots of kids today with loads of idea and projects to do 🙂 Farrell brought his idea to create SSTV to transmit image via radio with Arduino 🙂

Capt. BR should lecture Farrell about information theory 🙂

While Ren, as usual, try the latest lesson and test whether it works or not 😀 It is schematic to light up LEDs alternately using two buttons and a shift register 🙂

Abit had just joined our reguler class (he joined our coding camp last month :)). Abit is a fast learner 🙂

Hello Areli! It’s really nice to have you back! Please be patient with this complicated schematic and long codes 🙂

Capt. Malik was given a task to explore gyro for creating air drum prototype 🙂

The view of: Vallo having headache and Ren seriously typing the code from the manual on his android phone 🙂

Raul (black shirt) was upset about his not working seven segment with two buttons last week. Today he created the schematic of seven segment that shows numbers entered from Arduino serial monitor

And it worked yaaay 🙂 Raul is so happy 🙂

Abit and his multiple LED 🙂 He looks bored with that hand under the chin but he’s actually very excited 🙂

Farrell and his SSTV,  reading radio signal and convert it into data

Ren’s schematic works just fine 🙂

Well done Ren, thanks! 🙂

Ozan’s seven segment with serial input monitor works too 🙂

Rafi started from the very beginning about Arduino today, to make sure he understands the required theory to get started 🙂

Clarence came up with his wifi and Espectro project 🙂

Areli and his schematic. Kids tend to dislike seven segments wiring because it looks complicated with all the wirings 🙂

The class

Capt. BR teaches Vallo about components and how they actually work

And Vallo starts the seven segment with two buttons schematic

Rafi looks so excited about his multiple LEDs 🙂

Capt. BR shows Vallo how to use ProCodeCG Button 🙂

Heeey, Capt. Reza glad to have you back! Reza is a very focus and persistent kid. He wouldn’t stop until he makes it work 🙂

This is Farrell and Clarence in a deep discussion about SSTV etc 😀

The should do this project together 😀

The signal encoding 🙂

Phew, lots of things going on in this class today, and the success rate is higher than last week 🙂 Hoping to create more interesting things next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 14 Jan 2017 – Arduino Programming

Hello Saturday 🙂 Our regular class is back 🙂

Ozan and Rafi. Rafi looks so stressed, why? 😀

Those two: Capt. Awa and Fizhan 🙂

Ren, always one step ahead 🙂

Capt. Cinta and Capt. Syahna 🙂

Raul!

We had two projects today: one is potentiometer to control brightness of LED and seven segment with two buttons: one for counting up and one for counting down 🙂

Looks empty but more kids were coming in later 🙂

Nafis is back 🙂

That face 😀

Ozan had finished the schematic and ready to type in the code

Rafi was still installing Arduino software 🙂

Ren had finished the seven segment count-up count-down 🙂

Capt. Malik was also in the class, very quiet as usual but working a lot 😉

Ren showed the code to set the seven segment through Arduino serial monitor 🙂

Rezandra’s potentiometer schematic

Raul had finished the first one and got very frustrated about the second 😀

Rafi’s worked too 🙂

Awa’s 🙂 He hadn’t added the two button yet 🙂 Let’s try it next week 😉

Capt. Malik also hadn’t figured out the second project. So we probably should try it again next week 🙂

So glad to have these kids again every Saturday 🙂 We’re going to have more fun next week 😉
