ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 16 Dec 2017

Hello, welcome back to our regular ESPectro programming class 🙂

Ozan still had a project to do: ultrasonic counter with buzzer and LED 🙂

the ultrasonic and LCD work fine but the buzzer didn’t 😀

And we had Nadine start learning ESPectro programming today 🙂

And Ozan became Capt. on duty today to help Nadine learning 🙂

The first task is to make the LED onboard blink, and the LED on breadbroad blink 🙂

Done! 🙂

And then adding more LEDs 🙂

Worked nicely 🙂

Nadine wanted to learn how to use multimeter 🙂

She learned how to check resistor value and test LEDs 🙂

Look at that! This girl is so eager to learn this kind of thing 🙂 Cool 🙂

Capt. Ozan was busy creating the code to make the LED blinking alternately 🙂 Well done today, Capt! 🙂 :*

There’s always something new to learn and lots of progress each time 🙂 See you on the next! 🙂

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 – 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 – 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 – ESPectro/Arduino Programming – 12 Aug 2017

Today we’re preparing for ProCodeCG Kids Coding Exhibition 17 August 2017 🙂

Clarence is going to present about one of his projects

Clarence has been doing research with ESPectro and created lots of things

Mostly about visualizations using LCD

This one is a space shooter visualization

Clarence has been doing some tuning to the fps and the algorithm

He also has sorting algorithm visualization to be presented on the exhibition

Rezky is one of the most focus and diligent 🙂 He is now working on ultrasonic counter after finishing all the previous sections 🙂

Rezky has finished the simple smiley animation

and then battery charging animation

And continue to ultrasonic sensor 🙂

Raul comes back 🙂

catching up with the stuff he hasn’t done for weeks

Yes, Raul’s ultrasonic sensor is working 🙂

Well done, Raul 😉

Vian has just started learning Arduino/ESPectro Programming last week and he’s totally excited about it 🙂

It takes time to download ESPectro libraries and doing set up

so we use Arduino while waiting

Vian likes to make the schematic from the very beginning, from the simplest and then adding more things 🙂

He started to learn about resistor value 🙂

Cinta is working on her project for exhibition: Automatic Traffic Light Pedestrian Button

We will be reporting about our exhibition next Thursday. Wish us luck! 😉

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming – 5 Aug 2017

Hello! This is our regular thing on Saturdays 🙂

Vian surprisingly told us he wants to learn Arduino/ESPectro Programming instead of GameMaker and Minecraft 🙂

He learned to make an LED blinking 😉

and then 2 LEDs

and then 3 LEDs

and then because we’re out of breadboards then Vian learned how to make RGB LED works 🙂

Rezky got a new LCD I2C and ready to test it

Yea it worked 🙂

Rezky learned to create some simple custom char

and also lots of sets of custom chars 🙂

So did Ruben, he had just got a new LCD I2C

he did the wiring and prepare to test it 🙂

while we’re installing some libraries, he drew 🙂 amazing 🙂

or put everything inside his toolbox on a breadboard 😀

or lay down for a while 😀

ok Uben, the library is ready, let’s compile 😉 Yes it works! 🙂

Ruben learned how to display text on the LCD

and also how to put a smile on it 🙂

then given the task to put a sad face 😉

Ozan was really busy making an ultrasonic sensor work 😉

and finally it worked 🙂

The LCD is showing the number it is counting *it was dimmed because we use 3,3V instead of 5V (the 5V is used to power the ultrasonic sensor)

Yaaay, awesome work Ozaaaaan 😉

Nadine wanted to learn Arduino/ESPectro programming too 🙂 Capt. Faris helped her to get started 🙂

Nadine is very interested to learn about components and devboard 🙂

She learned how to make a LED blinking (just like Vian)

Learned some debugging with Capt. Faris

and then learned to blink more LEDs 😉

and also RGB LED 🙂

Proud! Good job Nadine! *she can’t wait to have her own ProCodeCG Kits next week 😉

Capt. Cinta examining the ProCodeCG Big Toolbox to get some idea what to create 🙂

It’s so much fun today like always 😉

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 🙂
