ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 3 Aug 2019

Our busy Saturday Coding activities 🙂

Aidia is preparing presentation slides for the exhibition 🙂

She will present at least 3 projects on the exhibition: robot, automatic railway gate system and color sorting machine 🙂

this is the color sorting machine 🙂

Aidia is little gir a very focus and big dedication 🙂

It is unbelievable that a 9 yo can make presentation slides like this 🙂

Capt. Faris is busy with research, being a teaching assistant

and tuning Badi’s ukulele 😀

We just found out that Badi can play ukulele, very nice 🙂

today we had to fix this error. Pavilion19’s website is down because the hosting is rerouting the IP address

we had to report the error to the hosting admin

too busy to get off the chair 😀 😀 D

we sent emails, called the call center, to finally make the website up again. The problem remaining is that we still had to wait to get cpanel activated again

Fadhlan is going to continue compas calibration

compass data readings

comparing the empirical data

and then uploaded the obsctacle avoiding + mapping code and test the robot

everything seems to work normally but we ran out of time, the robot ran out of battery and so did the laptop 😀

and also the engineer 😀 so we just called it a day 😀

Adit is back 🙂 after a looong time 🙂

he started to learn basic programming all over again for warming up

and making a great progress for today 🙂 Hoping to see you again in the next class Adit 🙂

Capt. Awa is working on the projects for the exhibition

this time it is the RFID projects. Awa created a game with RFID 😉

When you answer correctly (by tapping the correct RFID card), you will get scores 🙂

Faiz is ready to explore sensors today 🙂

Today it’s ultrasonic sensor 🙂

And Faiz wanted to learn the code line by line. He asked the meaning of each line 🙂

the ultrasonic readings 🙂

next class we will learn some other sensors before finally assemble the robot 🙂

Hafiz couldn’t access the machine learning server today

so we changed plan into creating apps with Thunkable

Hafiz learned how to create an app to recognize objects

The app has successfully detect objects, and Hafiz had successfully added text to voice module to the app 🙂 Great progress today, Hafiz 😉

Al

is in the mood of editing with Photoshop today 🙂

Al has beeen

Yogi is back after a while 🙂 Welcome back 🙂

Yogi picked it up where he left 🙂 We still figuring out how to create a little screen view using GameMaker Studio 🙂

and he also challenged himself with some coding puzzles 🙂

Zaaka is improving his another complex game 🙂

he created LOTS of room and you can imagine how complex the game is 🙂

Kishan keeps improving his game

and make it a very intuitive and interesting game to play 🙂

Kishan also carefully created awesome animations for the sprites, making his game looks very alive!

Syadad has been very seriously preparing coding for upcoming exhibition 😉

He had prepared many codes for building many structures in Minecraft, and going to invent new interesting structures 😉

Azmi is going to learn basic electronics today 😉

Capt. Awa helped Azmi installing Arduino and also copying ProCodeCG Handout to Azmi’s laptop

Azmi looked very interested in assembling things from the very beginning 😉

He is also willing to type in the code line by line. A very rare willingness for a kid 🙂

Finally Azmi got his LED blinking yayyy! 🙂

Azmi’s first Arduino project 😉

Tyo is now joining the regular class and continuing his controlling-arduino-with-app project 😉

we still have problems with connection and will make progress very soon

The class

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 27 July 2019

A busy and productive Saturday as usual 🙂 Plus we are preparing for the annual ProCodeCG Kids Exhibition on 17 August 2019 😉

Aidia’s mission today is to fix her Automatic Railway Gate Project, without pulling out the cables or destroying any decorations 😀

Aidia accidentally changed the code and we forgot to make backups so we had to figure out each of the port numbers go to which components 😀

schematic diagram by Aidia

rewriting the basic code (with just one ultrasonic sensor)

the circuits (and we totally had no idea which cable goes to which component :D)

After Capt. Awa tried to help and Koosha’s gave the idea to check the port and connection using avometer (which was a brilliant idea), Capt. Faris used his superpower: to code 😀 He created a brute force code to check which port connected to which component 😀

and we kept updating the note to make sure we wouldn’t lose it again 😀

the brute force code

allright we finally got all the ports 😀 Thanks so much Capt. Faris 😉

Fadhlan is going to replace Arduino Leonardo with Arduino Uno because after some libraries and board updates, we got serious errors when compiling with Arduino Leonardo and we really don’t have time because Fadhlan is going for the competition in October and should report the work for evaluation in August

But first: fuel for the engine 😀

now ready to work, making sure all the ports from Leonardo goes to the correct ones in Uno

finding the latest code

and then test the code for Arduino and for Processing

All components seemed to work fine

only the radar didn’t come up. We’re going to fix this real soon

Harraz is still working with Game Maker but insisting to create game in Roblox

So we told him why don’t he create Roblox with GameMaker? 😀

Badi certainly has lots of ideas to upgrade Pavilion19 website today 🙂

He updated the calendar and going to rearrange the layout to make it looks nicer 😉 And we are going to add some statistics showing how many people already booked Pavilion19 so far 🙂

Pavilion19 website on mobile phone browser

Capt. Awa is still working on the Panic Button

Clive is joining our Regular Class today 🙂 Welcome 🙂

Like the other, Clive had to go through Intro to Programming 🙂

including learning about procedures/functions 🙂

Sam is starting a new project today

To create app to recognize object for blind people. And then the app will use text to voice to inform the user about the object using voice 🙂

the code

testing the app

taking samples of as many objects as possible

Capt. Faris is busy as always today 🙂

Helping Sam to improve the app. Making sure Clive and other kids can do the tasks

helping Aidia debugging the project

and work overtime 😀 But he fixed everything needed to fixed today 🙂 Well done, Captain 🙂

Ara has been given homework and task to finished today. Attacking DVWA by stealing cookies and use the cookies to access the website

the result in BurpSuite

logging in to DVWA

and observed it via BurpSuite

and then typing additional codes. It is a long code so he said he’s going to continue it at home 😀

Al is working on the Sorting Hat Machine Learning project 🙂 With lots of encouragement and support of Capt. Awa 😀

Faiz started his Basic Electronics lesson today before learning to assembly his own robot 😉

under supervision of Capt. Faris 🙂

Starting with LED, button, buzzer and then microservo

next week we will learn about sensors 🙂

Syadad is looking handsome and neat today 🙂

he had finished LOTS of codes in the handout and start to explore new structures to be presented on our Exhibition

Syadad had built most of the code in the handout and he started to modify them to see what happens

Hafiz had two tasks to finished: to create a system to recognize object for blind people with machine learning and to recognize colors for color blind people 😉 He is really excited about this 🙂

Koosha hadn’t yet decided the title of his presentation on Exhibition but he’s now seriously working on optimizing multiple Minecraft servers and explore most of the plug ins available 🙂

Cean had finished his Minecraft Hour of Code challenge today

and the next is to learn some pattern with LightBot, but apparently this one it a bit to hard for Cean

so we moved on to Blockly Games to learn more about basic programming logics

The class, and all the joy and excitement in it 😉

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 19 June 2019

It’s been a while since the last class and we have to revisit again what we did the last class 😀

the first one is to check the bluetooth connection

successful

and then testing speech to text app

works fine

and then working on connecting speech to text to Arduino

still not working

no sign of text on the serial monitor 😦 we need to work more on this bluetooth connection (same thing happened with the robot project so we really need to figure this out)

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 24 May 2019

Alright we have decided the next project for Tyo 🙂 We’ve been thinking for weeks about choosing a sound recognition project from several alternatives. We have to decide which one and how to do it.

Today we will try simpler one, option number #2 🙂

We’re using BitVoicer for the speech recognition app to enable Arduino accepting voice command

After inputting voice samples, then we test them

After setting up BitVoicer then we will setup the Arduino

We’re going to connect BitVoicer to Arduino that will control home appliances (or at least simulation of home appliances :))

We still need some time to be able to operate BitVoice fluently but for now we already know the basic principles

This is gonna be fun 🙂 We’ll see how far we can push this project 🙂

*Photos and videos are also available here

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 8 May 2019

Two missions for today: to explore sound sensor and PIR sensor

we’re going to test this sound sensor to detect the beat of a music and make a LED blinking the beat 🙂

the wiring

the code

serial monitor

setting up the sensitivity of the sensor

and after that, it works 🙂 *find the link of the videos on the bottom of the page

PIR sensor, took some time to warm it up

so far, after testing 2 PIR sensors, ultrasonic sensor is more reliable 🙂

*Photos and videos are also available here

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 4 Mei 2019

Introducing our new venue: Art Cafe and Restaurant 🙂

Kids will get voucher for food here 🙂

Hafiz starts a new game today: Feeding Frenzy 🙂

Hafiz now has many skills to create different games 😉 He’s free to create anything he likes 🙂

Aidia is going to continue connecting Minecraft to Arduino

Setting up the server

Start building the blocks to activate Arduino LED

the command blocks

Koosha gave Aidia some help

Linking Minecraft to Arduino is very interesting 🙂 Now Aidia can control anything connected to Arduino from Minecraft 😉

Badi is working on the website

Maintaining schedules and booking system of Pavilion 19

Entering data in JSON format

And then Badi wants to learn NodeMCU

installing libraries

running the code

Badi wants to create fake wifi connection 😀

Capt. Faris is still working with his datasets

He wants to add hand gestures to the learning system

the dataset

Fadhlan’s task for today is to install power supplies for the robot

plus integrating the bluetooth module

And when he was busy soldering the robot, the seat of the chair fell 😀 Glad he wasn’t hurt and nothing was broken 🙂

The batteries (that later sparks because the switch got short-circuited)

So Fadhlan has to fix the switch and check why one wheel doesn’t work

Sam has got serious things to do with the Juz’amma app

He now can store data in local storage but not yet with local database

we have to carefully design the database for the application before starting to enter the data

Harraz (so sorry we didn’t manage to get his picture) is creating a new game

with lots of sprites

Once Harraz done with the assets, we’re going to develop an awesome game 🙂

Koosha

is ready to explore Minecraft Link more

another way to turn Arduino LED on and off 🙂

Koosha explored some other mods

The mod to have a computer with keyboard and browser inside Minecraft

Capt. Awa is researching Minecraft Link too

Capt. Awa helped other students learning Minecraft Link too 😉

Syadad is going to create a new game today 🙂

His Maze Game is full-featured already 🙂

He’s going to make a shooting game

Andra is going to type his own Minecraft mod today 🙂

He will type his own javascript code and then install it to the server and run it Minecraft 🙂 Let’s see the result next week 🙂

Mohan came back after a while

and picked up where he left, and got distracted with Minecraft Modding too 😀

Jihan (we’re so sorry we didn’t get her picture as well 😦 ) is learning basic programming

She is a fast learner and she will start to learn machine learning soon 🙂

Wow lots of projects and progress this week 🙂 We will be reporting again soon 😉

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 3 May 2019

Our regular private class 🙂

Today Tyo finished 2 projects: temperature and humidity sensor and LDR sensor

Temperature and humidity sensor

The result

LDR sensor

The result

Two projects going very smoothly today, and Tyo is busy sorting the books for his mobile library after the class 🙂

Next week we’re going to explore more projects 🙂
