Building and running the siren circuit demo on the hardware xplora kit.

[muchiri john @a2e1534]

New Xplora3D project: Built a siren circuit demo with an RGB LED, a buzzer and push button to turn the siren on/off.

Building the hardware kit version next!

Refining RGD LED model for Xplora3D. The old one was too basic.

The goal is to match real world hardware in visuals and behavior for a better learning experience.

Project demo next.

Relay module in Xplora3D complete with a custom glb + full simulation support of NO-COM-NC

Also added a new component, a DC lamp, to test the circuit.

A break from circuits and code. 3D printing a part we need for our lab stuff with @NivahK97539

[muchiri john @a2e1534]

@NivahK97539 5 hours later, 4 parts printed. Not bad

@matt__makes True, it reduces the entry barrier to physical engineering.

Working on a new component for Xplora3D: A small breadboard compatible signal relay [OMRON G5Q].

Simulate+learn how to create a simple relay circuit.

[muchiri john @a2e1534]

Rebuilding+tweaking the IC body render from a simpler version to a more realistic approach for Xplora 3D.

Check out the difference!

Me on X: AI apocalypse, adapt or die.

Me off X: spends whole afternoon discussing cad tolerances to a machinist who doesnt even know what's opus, fable, astra...

Confusing realities😃

@Aj_Tech_01 Thanks and it's really nice you are teaching the students hardware 👍🔥

@MrBeanDou Thanks. Some prototypes to check if the op-amp does the job.

[muchiri john @a2e1534]

We've completed the sound sensor module for Xplora3D. Simulation+custom model.
The sensor module is also the actual breakout we'll fab for the hardware version.
