Public Transportation

radley10 — 2024-09-16 19:39:42 UTC

Sensors and date processing is used outside of the car which makes a warning noise when close to objects that we are not supposed to be close to. The inside is also automated and programmed as the whole entertainment system is based off operating systems,

House Appliance

radley10 — 2024-09-16 19:41:53 UTC

Control algorithms and user interface are examples of this panel is programmed. The user interface is touch screen and that immediately relates to the control algorithms as the user determines how much AC they want in their home.

Entertainment / games

radley10 — 2024-09-16 19:45:40 UTC

A phone is entirely related to programming, as the only way it can function is by being purely coded. The only parts not coded are the hardware pieces, but even most of them have some sort of programming to make the motor function run correctly. This phone also utilizes the App Store which is programmed to let you install and run games. swft and python are used for these interfaces.

security

radley10 — 2024-09-16 19:48:14 UTC

This is my lock, and we switched to an automated lock for convenience of not having to carry keys everywhere. The lock is programmed to read the users input and if it matches the passcode with no errors at all, it will automatically unlock the lock. There are also control algorithms to where if you mistype the code a certain amount of times you have to wait a little before trying again.

Fitness

radley10 — 2024-09-16 19:55:25 UTC

This bike goes up to 40 mph, and does not require pedaling, it has speed adjustments on the handles that change the speed of the bike and that is programmed on that screen you see on the top of the bike. This type of bike also has uphill mode meaning it is used for working out when you want to "bike" up a hill as it restricts the pedals and makes it harder for you to physically pedal allowing for more calories to be burnt. This also serves as transportation as well as fitness.

Education
