I have worked independently to built a machine which sorts out colours into different piles. This project is probably one of the most complex and ambitious project completed as it requires pages of code for the machine to function correctly.
Problems
Throughout the project, I had encountered many problems especially with coding. I had found the exact code I needed to program for the machine to operate although I had soon found that it needed around 200 instructions to code the machine which would be extremely time consuming. The next problem was that the code that was on the website was an older version of software than from the software that I was using.
The next problem was that the code that was on the website was an older version of software than from the software that I was using. Luckily, I found the code but it was in python and I made the decision to code in python. This came with its own set of challenges; firstly I would have to download a program into my EV3 brick which would require flashing the computer with a sd card. After a while of trying things out. I had finally succeeded to code the EV3 to run a simple program where it turned a motor. This was quite challenging as it was the first time programming with python.
