Course: DBB100 Creative Programming
Type: Individual mini-project
Date: November 2021
Duration: ~2 weeks
Significance: Programming, Physics, Processing IDE, Arduino, 3D Printing
The software side of this project is a simulation of the ballistic trajectory of a projectile being fired from an artillery gun. It allows to find the correct angle of the artillery gun to hit a target at a certain distance by brute-forcing the solution(s).
The hardware part is a miniature motorized artillery gun that fires 9mm steel balls with the use of a elastic band. This gun is operated by the software simulation.
Combined, the project is a fun exploration of how artillery guns were being operated in the past.
This project was done as a part of the Creative Programming TU/e course. Processing 3.0 & Arduino IDE was used.
