Laboratorio - Drawdio

Primero tomé de referencia este video: https://youtu.be/rJWdw2BNekQ

Había conectado y desconectado muchísimas veces, exactamente igual al video de referencia, sin éxito.

Luego compartí el trabajo en el foro de Laboratorio, tras la devolución de Diego, se llegó a la conclusión de que estaba mal conectado el circuito por falla en la interpretación del esquema.

Entonces recurrí a ayuda de un técnico electrónico. Hicimos el esquema paso a paso del PDF de Drawdio enviado por Diego.

¡Y funcionó!

Para registrar el armado y poder compartirlo, hice es esquema exacto de mis conexiones sobre un protoboard:

Spent my Saturday afternoon putting a drawdio together 😊✏️🎵

Soldering

For my second project, I worked in a group with two of my classmates, Jazzma and Calye basically learning how to solder and unsolder objects. Unfortunately, I missed a class because I was sick but I was still able to participate in soldering wires. However, our main focus was tearing down and soldering components off a drawdio. 

Bill of Materials

- Drawdio

- Soldering iron

- Helping hands soldering 

- Wire cutter

- Damp sponge

- Wire

- Wire stripper

- Circuit board

- Gel paper

To begin this project, I started off with something simple which was trying to solder something together. I have never worked with a soldering iron, so this was something new and interesting. I chose to use a wire to solder together, so I cut off a piece and stripped each end of the wire with a wire stripper. 

Next, I placed my wire withing the soldering helping hands in order to make the soldering process easier.

I'm pretty sure, you have an idea of what came next, that as actually soldering both ends of the wires together.

You're probably thinking "what the hell is soldering? what does she keep referring too?" An easy explanation based on my experience is, its basically the melting of two metal objects in order to join them together.

So here's a picture of what it actually looks like.

The process was a little harder then I expected because of how difficult it was to get both ends to stay together while i melted them. As you can see, a piece of solder broke off which made it even harder but eventually I got the hang of it.

This is what I used to melt these parts together

Once I grasp the concept of soldering, our group worked on using the soldering iron for the opposite use compared to what I did earlier, and that was to take apart things. We decided to focus on taking off the speakers and the battery holder off of the Drawdio.

Drawdio by itself

Finally, Jazzma used the soldering iron to heat the circuit board in specific areas in order for the battery holder to come off. She heated the leads that held the battery holder to the circuit board. She also was able to take off both speakers and once both components, the drawdio was pretty much "teared down".

As you can see above the each component that was detached from the drawdio, the process was pretty easy but I'm curious about the process of putting it back together.

In our Grade 6 science class we’ve been creating inventions with our Drawdios. If you don’t know what a Drawdio is, you can get a good grasp on what it is and what it can do by watching the video below…

One of our most recent homework assignments was to turn the Drawdio into a musical instrument that could play a recognizable song. We even had a Drawdio Recital Day in class where the students performed their songs.

I was so impressed by the different ways my students used to create their songs that I thought my photos of them would make for an interesting Blog post. In the image gallery below, you can not only see the different songs that were played, but also the different strategies students used to turn paper and pencil graphite into a song.
