Deep dive into ROS2 concepts. Learning about nodes and topics today @GMcanada @opg @ontariotech_u @OT_Outreach #ROS2

Installed Ubuntu 24.04 in VirtualBox and installed ROS2 Jazzy to explore how nodes work to support robotics project. Reading "ROS2 from Scratch" and checking out videos online to see if install is correct: youtu.be/UmfwVmHnM20?si…

Learning to create custom 3D designs using OnShape. OntarioTech University Engineering Outreach here today to share design tricks with Computer Technology and ICT SHSM groups @OT_Outreach @StStephenRoyal

Trying to get Zumi robot to follow a black line using openCV. Culminating task in ICD2O @ontariotech_u @OT_Outreach @Robolinkinc @StStephenRoyal

ICT SHSM students working with Cyber security team from Durham College to explore pen testing in Kali Linux. Discovering the benefits of virtualization in VirtualBox @StStephenRoyal @opg @durhamcollege @OT_Outreach @ontariotech_u @GMcanada

Congratulations IceGroup1 or Team 51 for winning first place at the 18th Ontario Tech University Robotics Competition! Royals Robotics has won the event 3 times! Teamwork, sportsmanship, focus and hard work are the key! @StStephenRoyal @durhamcollege @ontariotech_u

Congrats Icegroup 1 for winning the Ontario Tech U Robotics Competition 2025!! Congrats to the Grade 10 team or Icegroup 5 for placing 10th out of 74 teams! Bravo Royals Robotics! @StStephenRoyal @TvRoar @ontariotech_u @durhamcollege

Icegroup 1 just won first place at the Ontario Tech University Robotics Competition!! Congratulations Royals!!! The team that placed 2nd in 2024 placed 1st in 2025!! @StStephenRoyal @ontariotech_u @durhamcollege

Show time at the Ontario Tech University Robotics Competition! St Stephen has 5 teams competing today! @StStephenRoyal @opg @ontariotech_u @GMcanada #pvncLearns

It's SumoBot time!! Programming EV3 robots with Java LeJos. Testing our robots before @ontariotech_u Ontario Tech University Robotics Competition on Saturday Nov 15. GO Royals! @StStephenRoyal @opg @durhamcollege

Movember! @TvRoar youtu.be/UXDNUPyDnuw?si…

Join us Saturday, Nov 15 for the OTU Robotics Competition - 8:30am - 3pm @ontariotech_u Got Royals! x.com/mickdee/status…

Getting ready to defend the title on Saturday Nov 15 at Ontario Tech University Robotics Competition. We program our NXT and EV3 robots with Java LeJos libraries and API @StStephenRoyal @ontariotech_u @durhamcollege @LEGO_Group @acseontario Let's Go Royals!

Arduino Smart car running C++ needs 16 volts (4 @ 1.5v + 1 @ 9v) to power hungry servo and 2 @ DC motors. Servo sweeps an ultrasonic back and forth 180 degrees to avoid collision @StStephenRoyal @arduino @ontariotech_u @durhamcollege

Arduino Uno smart car featuring L298N motor shield, servo motor, ultrasonic sensor, TT DC motors. Can we make it smarter? @durhamcollege @StStephenRoyal @ontariotech_u @GMcanada @arduino

Got the L298N running with Arduino C++ test code. Knowing how to connect battery pack to Arduino Uno and L298N motor shield is key @ontariotech_u @durhamcollege @arduino

Repairing the Arduino Smart cars. Need to re-solder motors and connect yo L298N shield. Need to update the C++ code. Hope to combine Arduino and Raspberry Pi 4 to create a new rig. Looking to partner with OTU mecatronics to explore ROS @ontariotech_u @arduino

Reviewing loops and subprograms using Kahoot in the Dual Credit with Durham College. Learning to document and write Python code to solve problems using algorithmic thinking #pvnclearns @durhamcollege @ontariotech_u @GMcanada

Another great summer conference at the University of Waterloo to review best practice for physical computing with Arduino, programming and problem solving @StStephenRoyal @ICTC_CTIC @OT_Outreach #pvncLearns
