ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 10 Mar 2018

An extraordinary regular thing for us every Saturday: kids coding class 😉

Hello Capt. Awa 😉

Awa was really busy working on his vending machine project

the schematic

components

Awa is going to present this work in Malaysia very soon 🙂

Well, even a Captain needs a break 😀 *Awa having breakfast 😀

Fathan, is a determined game maker 🙂

Fathan worked for three straight hours improving this game 🙂

Fathan kept adding things to the game, and tried different ways to do things like displaying scores with two different ways 🙂

A very impressive game 🙂 It has every components required in this kind of game 😉

Sam is a focus fast learner

The first sprite

the first moves

and the game grew so quickly into a full featured one 🙂

Sam is certainly know how to create interesting games 🙂

Capt. Faris had loads of work and research to do

Faris was given a task to parse data crawled from instagram 🙂

And prepare other captain to catch up with the research 🙂

Aidia 🙂 A bubbly, cheerful and passionate little girl 🙂

Aidia likes to create things in Minecraft

 

Aidia was given a project to create a 2 storied house with elevator 🙂

Aidia always pays attention to little details 🙂

Danen was also working on his game and improving them 🙂 He worked on several games at the same time 🙂

Danen also discussed with Capt. Awa about the game

And produced something like this LOL

Vian (left) and Ain (right) were still doing the same Minecraft project

Vian was responsible to help Aidia learning more about Minecraft commands 😉

Aaaand, we had Capt. Malik back!!!

Capt. Faris (left) helped Capt. Malik to install things required to catch up with our research and projects 😉

Two of the best captains of ProCodeCG 😉

Malik was going to be help Faris to do Machine Learning research

So Malik has to install Python, TensorFlow and all the dependencies 🙂

We had a students of Business and Management, Telkom University visiting our class and did some interviews, including to the CFO, Capt. Syahna 😀

Can’t wait until the next Saturday 🙂 See you kids very soon 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 2 Dec 2017

Hello hello!

Today we had three kids working on Arduino/ESPectro 🙂

Yes, Capt. Awa and his toolbox is back 😀

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

Awa was planning to work on his radar project 🙂

While Ozan needed to install libraries and drivers for ESPectro because he was using different laptop 🙂 But he was working on ultrasonic with buzzer and light before attaching it to LCD

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

The code

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

Nafis was doing the same thing like Ozan was doing: making ultrasonic works with LED and buzzer and then attach the LCD

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

Nafis had some problem: his computer wouldn’t detect the port and we still hadn’t figured it out until the end of the class and we had to work on it next week 🙂

Awa got help from his mom and dad 🙂 A very nice family teamwork 🙂

And finally the servo worked 😀

As a dedicated captain, Awa spared sometime to fix broken cables 🙂

So proud and happy to have a Captain like this, thanks Capt. Awa 🙂 ❤

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 18 Nov 2017

Hello! Today we only have Koosha working on Arduino/ESPectro Programming but with lots of progress 🙂

Koosha came with a new project in mind 😀

He was working on an elevator project but today, apparently Koosha had something else in mind 😉

He’s going to assembly this RFID stuff

The code

The reading works

Successfully read from rfid card and rfid tag

And then successfully write to the card and tag too 😉

The code

Then adding an LCD 🙂 Still not working properly but we’re working on it 🙂

We’ll be reporting more progress next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming

Our Arduino/ESPectro Programming class today 🙂

One of our extension cable didn’t work so Capt. Awa opened and checked it with voltmeter 🙂

He found the source of problem and fixed it 🙂

Took extra patience and some amount of perseverance to do this kind of job 😀

It took lots of positions too 😀

And finally after several testing, Capt. Awa officially announced that the extension cable was working properly and ready to be used. Thanks so much Capt.!

After got his technical support job done, Capt. Awa got back to his sonar project 🙂 He was experimenting with Parallax
//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

and its standard servo 🙂

the ultrasonic was mounted on top of the servo

Capt. Awa teamed up with Clarence because Clarence will develop the code to display the reading from Awa’s sonar system to a TFT display

A really great teamwork 🙂

Clarence also has his own project, sorting algorithm visualization

He added more features including serial monitor commands to run the sorting using any chosen algorithm

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

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

Then he started working on ultrasonic

and the reading worked just fine

Next is to add micro servo  🙂

Ozan was still struggling with adding buzzer to ultrasonic counter

The ultrasonic counter worked fine until he added a buzzer 😀

We’ve done lots of debugging and try-and-retry attempts but it still didnt’ work 🙂 Have to try again next week 🙂

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

After the class: kids just wouldn’t stop 😀

Friendship scenes after the class 🙂

Capt. Fizhan (corner) was given a project to design a logo for Bu Rieny (Coding Mom Batch-3) with Wibi (middle) and Ozan (right) accompanying 🙂

Will be reporting more excitement next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro – 21 Oct 2017

Our dose of coding every Saturday 🙂

Cinta spent 2 sessions continuing her Arduino schematic design and simulation using Proteus 🙂

She tried several designs and with different components

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

Proteus provides library of components so it is very helpful 😉

Nafis was back after a while, and he was working on adding buzzer and LED to ultrasonic counter

Nafis refused to connect and test the components one by one; instead he put all components and compile to see what happened 😀 Still not working and he has to debug it on the next class 😀

Nafis little sister, Nayla liked to play with the components (she refuse to be photographed :D)

Awa came with a new toys: Arduino Parallax 😀

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

Awa was given a task to create a radar with ultrasonic and microservo and he started with this one 🙂

Awa is fully supported by mom and sister 🙂

And Clarence joined in 😀

These two have their own connections

making a great team 😀

Clarence started to tinker with Parallax code 🙂 He was previously given a task to process data from sonar reading and display it to a TFT screen

Reza was doing the same thing as Nafis but he did it differently: he puts one component at a time and tests it one by one

Reza is one very focus and determined kid 🙂

He kept trying

And the time’s up when he was almost finished. The buzzer won’t stop beeping 😀 Next time he has to modify the code so the buzzer will only beep when the counter reaches some certain number 🙂

Capt. Awa on duty 😀 Blurred pics because he moved so fast! 😀

Thanks so much Capt. Awa :* ❤

See you next week 🙂

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 30 Sep 2017

Our Arduino/ESPectro Programming Class today 🙂

Reza was getting ready to unbox his motor servo and try it for the first time

The first task is to make it work

the next is to activate the motor with ultrasonic

And after lots of effort and debugging, it worked 😉 Nice work Reza 🙂

Hyeaaay, Capt. Awa is baaack 🙂

He brought new stuff: a fancy Arduino 101

and a stepper 🙂

Awa had lots of things in mind for the next project 🙂

Awa is going to add timer to his micro servo

and then create a radar with ultrasonic sensor 🙂

Awa asked to be taught how to use dan read an avometer 🙂

While Koosha looking around the big toolbox, Awa measure everything with the avometer 😀 Electronics and components is more interesting to this kids more than candies 😀

Ozan was testing his ultrasonic motor servo

Didn’t work

so we asked Awa for help

The ultrasonic alone was working

The motor servo alone was working. But combined, it didn’t work

Took some time to figure it out and we decided to change ultrasonic with button. Still didn’t work and Ozan will try again next week

Vian started to work with motor servo too 🙂

He was intended to create some robot crawler or something 😀

While Koosha got back to his project: creating an elevator

Koosha’s project drew Awa and Vian’s attention 🙂

Koosha even created an animation to show how the elevator should work

Pretty awesome 🙂

Koosha wants the elevator to play some music

So we were working on making a memory board with some sounds in it to connect to Arduino and make sure the file has been read and then connect it to the speakers

While Cinta was still so into her project

the cryptic and complicated one, which will play different song when different button is pressed 🙂

And here’s some interesting scenes about friendship and joy after the class 😉

See you next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 23 Sep 2017

Today we picked up where we left last week: making a micro servo works 🙂

There were on only two kids working on Arduino/ESPectro Programming 🙂 This is Ozan

He had successfully made micro servo works, and ready to add an ultrasonic sensor to activate the micro servo 🙂

Nafis was working on the same thing

He added an ultrasonic to activate the micro servo and worked 😉

Next week we will explore more things, and help the other kids to catch up 🙂

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 9 Sept 2017

Our Arduino/ESPectro Programming Class this morning 🙂

Ozan was ready to modify automatic pedestrian traffic light with ultrasonic 🙂 We were going to add LCD to display information to pedestrian 🙂

It worked 🙂

The display will show the color of the traffic light:

red

yellow

green. Ozan had to change all the text into some info for pedestrian so they will know when to cross and how many times left 🙂

Nafis

and Rezky were working on the same project as Ozan

These two like to work together

helping each other finding bugs and make the schematics 🙂

and worked 🙂

We just had Uben back! His usual laptop was in repair so he brought another one. We spent some time to install and setup everything 🙂

Uben was told to create ultrasonic counter

 

Uben likes to assemble things like this 🙂

Too bad we didn’t had time to type in the code and compile it. Going to do it next week! 🙂

Next week we will explore projects with micro servo! 😉

ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #93 – TuringSense – 6 Feb 2017

Today, Pak Bullitt Sesariza, Director of TuringSense Asia Lab shared to us about one of cutting-edge technology being developed by TuringSense 🙂

We had cute small guests

and grown-ups too. All very curious about the topic today 🙂

Preparations took a while 🙂

Because the monitor wouldn’t cooperate with Pak Bullitt’s Macbook 🙂

Pivot is a product by TuringSense

TuringSense consists of a global team covers US, Italy, China and Indonesia. The hardware is created in US, the process is done in Italy, the manufacturing in China and apps development is done in Indonesia.

The vision of the company

Pivot is intended to bring expensive professional 3D motion technology to everyone

and bring the capabilities to mass market

so it can be used by anyone, everyone! *note: this is Capt. Awa wearing Pivot devices and giving them a test 🙂

Pivot sensors will show the movement of the body parts wearing the sensors

Makes Pivot implementable to many applications, especially sports

Sports has the biggest market

The vision of Pivot product

It can be used for sports requiring detail body poses like yoga

It can monitor whether you’re doing the pose correctly or not, and will notify you if you get the correct one, warn you about the possibility of injury and count the repetitions for you 🙂

Under Armour, Inc. is an American sports clothing and accessories company that is also developing this wearable technology

TuringSense has premier partners already secured, plus 2 in the works

Pivot is looking for a Unity Programmer and a UX designer 🙂 Interested? 🙂

Some additional demo after the presentation

And all of us who are very lucky to witness this mindblasting latest technology being revealed right before our eyes!!! 😉

See you next time 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Arduino Programming Day #2 – 6 Jan 2017

Arduino Programming Day #2 🙂 We learned about sensors 🙂

The first sensor is LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)

Capt. Fizhan makes his own schematic too

Done and works well 🙂

“Don’t take my pic” gesture of every captain is a common thing in our classes 😀

Salman might look so small but he can follow the lesson 🙂 The only obstacle is that he has to deal with lots of typing (which is not his fault 😀 )

Kiran is very quiet but persistence 🙂 She constantly finished the task one by one with very few errors. This girl has got a brain wiring that works like electronics 🙂

Capt. Syahna before unloading her laptop and thick book 😀

Salman’s Dad is being productive too 🙂 He moved his office to this corner with kids carpet and little smiley table 🙂

Capt. BR moves his office too 😀

Capt. Awa and mom also moved their office to the class 🙂 Yeaay the more the merrier 🙂

Next we add LED to the LDR schematic so that when LDR receives low light, the LED will light up 🙂

The schematic is a little bit tricky

It took some time to make it work

Still not working

Need some debuggin

almost giving up

He changed the LED and Capt. Zaki came for some help

and it finally worked 🙂

Salman is still working on his

and so is Kiran

There was some errors

Capt. Zaki come to debug

and also Capt. BR

Took some time to figure it out

And it finally worked 🙂

Salman’s worked too 🙂

Next is buzzer 🙂

This one is quite easy 🙂

Capt. Fizhan helped Salman with the schematic because the buzzer wouldn’t work

After we got that one worked, we continued to ultrasonic sensor 🙂

Capt. Awa helped Kiran to find the correct source of code for ultrasonic sensor

while Capt. Zaki working on Salman’s

😀

This is how Capt. Awa looks like when he cannot decide where to put a new sticker: on his laptop or on his toolbox 😀

Salman’s ultrasonic didn’t work because some wirings are still not correct

after some re-wiring, it worked 🙂

Captain Corners 😀

Capt. Awa assisting Salman. They’re in the same age 🙂 So cute 🙂

Capt. Awa testing Kirana’s potentiometer with LED

Salman is still tinkering with his ultrasonic with buzzer

After checking on everybody Capt. Awa decided to do some experiment with a relay 🙂

The last task for today is temperature and humidity sensor

Kiran has made it work

Salman will catch up on that one tomorrow 🙂

We have gone through all of this today! Yaay

This is a picture of Capt. Awa cleaning up the room LOL He ran away 😀

Some games before going home 🙂

Some screenshots 🙂

Tomorrow we will do some projects with the components and sensors we have learned the last two days 😉
