Students of the UPCT show electronic circuits that feed pets, water pots or light the oven The workshops of the students of the Polytechnic in the Week of Science teach how simple, economical and useful is the robotic programming A device with humidity sensor and a phone card that sends a notice to a mobile when the pot needs water.
Everything, with materials that do not exceed 15 euros.
This is one of the examples of simple and inexpensive electronic circuits that the IEEE-UPCT Cartagena Polytechnic students' association is exhibiting at the Science and Technology Week to encourage the youngest to begin in robotic programming.
Lamps whose color can be changed from the mobile, a programmable pet feeder to supply food automatically at the indicated time or a wireless switch that is not necessary to touch are other devices that are explaining how to build UPCT students.
The circuits shown are not only curious, they also have important applications.
This is the case of the radar that measures the distance of the objects that are approaching him and for which his teammates of the Moto UPCT competition team have been interested in preventing collisions in the race.
The students of the Polytechnic integrated in teams and associations are present in different stands of the Science and Technology Week, in which the UPCT carries out forty informative workshops.
