We can create a "Jumping Scared Rat" using simple components and incorporating a vibration motor and a sensor to trigger the jumping action. 

Materials: 

  • Arduino board 

  • Small vibrating motor 

  • Servo motor (to simulate the jumping action) 

  • Motion sensor (like a PIR sensor) or a touch sensor 

  • Battery pack or power source 

  • Wires, soldering equipment, and a breadboard for connections 

 

 

Steps: 

Prepare the Rat Structure: 

  • Create a simple rat-shaped structure using cardboard or 3D printed parts. 

  • Attach the servo motor to the base of the rat structure to allow it to make the rat "jump." 

 

Connect the Servo Motor and Vibrating Motor: 

  • Connect the servo motor to the Arduino to control the jumping action. 

  • Attach the vibrating motor to a part of the rat structure to simulate the rat shaking in fear. 

 

Wire the Sensor: 

  • Connect the motion sensor or touch sensor to an Arduino pin. 

 

Write the Code: 

  • Write code that waits for input from the sensor. When triggered (by touch or motion), activate the servo motor to make the rat jump and activate the vibrating motor to simulate the rat's fear. 

 

 

Upload the Code: 

  • Upload the code to your Arduino board. 

 

Test and Refine: 

  • Test the setup by triggering the sensor. Ensure the servo motor moves to make the rat jump, and the vibrating motor simulates the scary reaction. 

Assemble and Finalize: 

  • Mount all the components onto the rat structure securely. 

 

Once completed, when the sensor detects motion or touch, it triggers the servo motor to make the rat jump and activates the vibrating motor to depict the rat being scared. It's a fun, interactive project that combines motion sensing and motor control to create a playful effect! 

 

 

list of components you might need for your Jumping Scared Rat project: 

  • Arduino Board: Arduino Uno or Arduino Nano - both works well for this project. 

  • Servo Motor: SG90 or similar small-sized servo motor that can make the rat jump. 

 

  • Vibrating Motor: A small vibration motor, preferably one that's used in mobile phones or similar devices. 

 

  • Touch Sensor: 

  • Capacitive Touch Sensor or a simple push-button switch if you prefer touch activation. 

 

  • Battery Pack or Power Source: Depending on the power requirements of the motors and Arduino, you may use AA batteries, a power bank, or a dedicated power supply. 

 

 

9v battery 

  • Wires and Breadboard: For making connections between components. 

 

  • Rat Structure: Cardboard and other to create the rat structure. 

 

  • Soldering Equipment: For soldering wires to the motors or any other components that might need it.  

 

 

  • SOUND RECORDER/SMALL SPEAKER: 

 

 

 

For creating the rat structure in our project, we have a few options for materials. Here are some suggestions: 

  • Cardboard: It's easy to work with, readily available, and can be cut and shaped into the desired rat form. Layering cardboard for a thicker structure can add durability. 

  • Foam: Foam sheets or blocks can be carved or cut to create the rat structure. They are lightweight and easy to shape. 

  • Plastic or Wood: Thin plastic sheets or wood pieces can also be cut and shaped to form the rat. They might require more intricate cutting tools.

  Arduino Basic Starter Kit: UNO R3 PROJECT list of what the Arduino Basic Starter Kit typically includes: 1. Arduino Uno R3 board 2. Breadboard 3. Jumper wires 4. LEDs 5. Resistors 6. Potentiometer 7. Push buttons 8. Photoresistor 9. Temperature sensor 10. Servo motor 11. DC motor 12. Buzzer 13. LCD screen Sensors and Actuators We incorporated a servo motor into an Arduino setup. A servo motor is a precise actuator enabling control over angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system. To make the setup, the components you need for it are include: - Arduino Uno - USB Lead - 3 Breadboard Jumper Wires - Servo motor SG 90 In order to operate the servo motor, we utilized its dedicated code provided within the Arduino application under File > Examples > Servo > Sweep. Prior to assembling the components, we referred to online resources to determine how to connect the servo motor's wires to the Arduino.   This code is a script for controlling a ...

RGB Values/LED Sensor

Image
RGB RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, the three primary colors used in digital color systems. Each color is assigned a value from 0 to 255, indicating its intensity. In the RGB model: - Red (R) value ranges from 0 (none) to 255 (full intensity). - Green (G) varies similarly. - Blue (B) follows the same range. Colors are defined by a combination of these three values (R, G, B). For example, black is (0, 0, 0), and white is (255, 255, 255). This system is used widely in digital displays and graphics to create a multitude of colors. LED Sensor    here's a list of components used in the picture: Arduino Uno Breadboard Jumper Wires : Wires used to connect components on the breadboard. Potentiometer LED : A light-emitting diode, indicating power or other statuses. The photo shown above shows that there's a Arduino Uno connected to a board, called a breadboard, for testing out electronic circuits. Some colored wires link everything together. There's also a potentiometer to con...
