It will shortly information about the different projects we have worked over the years. Among other things, our fine turbiditetsmätare that is used to measure the turbidity of a liquid.
Rover and AUVer
We started our science club in February 2016 then we had received funds to build two underwater vehicles, ROVer. These come from OpenROV and came as kits that required a lot of knowledge about everything from soldering and electronics to mechanics, pressure and water seal.
Altogether, we have built three rover successfully and we have learned a lot in this.
We then discovered AUVer, was perhaps not surprising. An AUV is an automatic (preprogrammed) undervattensfarkost (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). In collaboration with Inspiria and Innovatum we could let a group of young people from Gullmarsgymnasiet and Fredrikstad in Norway to build working models of real AUVer used by researchers around the world.
Build and program
When you come to our science club, you do not have a lot of knowledge. We learn together and explore and develop as. Among other things, we learned the basics of programming by Arduino Starter Kit. These starter kit, we have combined with simple motor cards and components to build small robotic vehicles.
We think it is fantastic to be able to program and control the physical objects and tiny robot cars are prime examples of this.
