Using an Arduino with Python LESSON 14: Model a Moving Marble in a Room Using Parameters

In this video we show how to model a bouncing ball in a 3D room. We use this as an example of parametric design. In this class, we will be using an Elegoo Super Starter Kit, available below (affiliate link):

With this kit, we will will both be working on the same hardware which will make your life and my life easier.

Sir Paul,
I owe you, all I know about programing an arduino. This was back in 2014 or so... 😅
Your teaching skills are the best.

Just passing by to wish you all the best!
Cheers from Portugal

I got the marble bouncing correctly off all six walls for the homework. Thank you for another great lesson.

I saw you in Uganda near the Source of the Nile hotel in Jinja town!!!!
I enjoy your lessons
I stay in Kampala!!!

Smashing tut...Looking forward to the next episode.

I expect this to be a Great lesson and important This being taught be a Great person!

Could I suggest that having the Red Board on screen while you are coding uses up valuable screen space that we could be using to see what you are typing.

Thanks Paul! Cannot claim the Legend status or the cheap lawn chair. I am still here, did not quit the class and cannot wait for the next lesson.
Will attempt the homework based on your hint. Note: I found Uganda coffee at the store and will try it on the next lesson....Hopefully, it comes from
Mt. Elgon....

hello mr paul
i have a weird problem with my arduino
when it plugged in the computer and the code is uploaded to it everything works perfectly but when i unplug it from the computer and power it from the 5V battery
it's just not behaving like when it was plugged it the computer
and when i plug it back to computer it works
can someone please help me with that problem everyone i asked said srry we don't know

Hi Paul, a "moving" lesson.

As I already had a ball bouncing around inside a box, I needed to do something more. So, I have 2 boxes, 2 balls, and as the boxes are linked the balls can move from box to box, as often as their random change vectors allow. I still have some thinking to do... but for now, I had to cheat (a little) to get it to work - my bouncing and collision detection code assumes the ball has no radius.

I folded up like a cheap walmart lawn chir.
