My Awesome Day!

This is a blog about my day. I woke up at 7:00 am but I was too tired to get up from my bed so I stayed in bed for another 15 minutes but after that I had to get up and I went to wash my teeth etc...
After that my friend came to pick me up with his car. It was a fun ride since roads were frozen so we drifted with his car a lot.

When we reached school I checked what time was and I still had one minute left so I rushed to class. We were doing projects with arduino and I was stuck with this one project which is called Motorized Pinwheel. In this project you had this motor which starts to spin around and when you press button it stops but it didn't stop. I tried to find out what was the problem but didn't find it out. After some time I accidentally  broke the wires and I had to go solder the wires back to the motor. When I came back class was over and our next class was English but before that we decided to go to shop although I didn't have any money. At shop I decided to bum money from my friends but didn't get any. During English class we were doing some basic exercises at the start of the class and after that we started new chapter and it was about work life. We read the text and did some exercises and after that class was over and we went to eat.

I was pretty hungry because i hadn't eaten anything in the morning. The food was pretty good not like usual food at the school. After the food we went to chill at the computers to wait for the next class which was about programming. We checked some funny youtube videos and when the class started i had to go to Seinäjoki for some allergy tests. After the tests it turned out I wasn't allergic to anything.

After that I went to home and I was so bored that I went to visit my friend. So we drank some coffee there and decided to go eat somewhere so we went to buy some pizza. After we got back to my friends house my other two friends showed up and ate the pizzas too so after the pizzas were eaten we were still pretty hungry. Rest of the evening we chilled and played some games.

When I got home I went to shower and ate something. Then I checked if there was anything interesting up in the TV and there was Ghostrider on so I watched that and tried to get sleep but it was pretty useless since my phone kept getting messages so I think I got hold of the sleep at around 3:00. Yeah pretty awesome day.

Arduino Robot Project

We started to use robots last week and we tried program called line follow. Basically at line follow program you draw black line and arduino starts to follow it. Today we have to choose one arduino program and write a blog about it so i chose program called Disco Bot. At Disco Bot arduino starts to play a song and dances.

This is my first blog and it is about Arduino Robot. It is  a tiny robot and you can perform all sorts of tasks with it.
The robot has two potentiometers, five buttons, a digital compass, five floor sensors and a SD card reader as input. Then as outputs it has speaker, two motors and a color screen. Robot has two boards. The top board is a control board and the bottom one is mother board. Setting up the robot is pretty simple, you need to insert the SD card into the TFT screen, and insert the screen to its socket at middle of the control board.
