Problem: High School students
need to learn projectile motion (with industrial sized cannons)
Solution:
Lacrosse ball cannon with feedback
What?
First off, who wouldn't want
a remote
controlled cannon, let alone the use of it in a high school
environment for educational purposes? The best way to learn is to
do. That said, physics demos teach students, the better the demo
the more
engraved the topic is in their minds. so why not make a system which
uses a completely overpowered cannon to demonstrate projectile motion.
This project implements driving big old all electronics lcd's,
serial communications, sound generation, speaker hookup
along with some new topics such as motor control and keyboard/joystick
input.
