By Chau To Introduction: Wi-Fi extender or Wi-Fi booster is a device that picks up a wireless signal and then rebroadcasts that signal. It acts as a second access point for other devices to connect to. The range of a typical Wi-Fi extender is around 300ft. Some expensive Wi-Fi boosters can achieve a range of […]
By Mevan Fernando and Robert Licari Introduction by Mevan Fernando Tethering is when a smartphone is turned into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and its 3G/4G data connection is shared. Once tethering is turned on in the smartphone, any device with a wireless connection can connect to the internet via the smartphone’s connection. Procedure by Mevan […]
by Vinh Khoa Ton Introduction A Wi-Fi/4G access point is a location that provides users wireless network. Nowadays, most electronic devices are equipped with a wireless adapter (mobile phone, laptop, tablet, watch, etc.), the demand for wireless connection increases rapidly. The Wi-Fi hotspot could be found usually in public areas such as airports, post offices, […]
By Juan Montano In this study, we will try to determine the appropriate dimensions for the UFO. To meet the customer’s requirement that it should look like the UFO from the movie, the day the earth stood still, we worked off of the picture (shown below) that he thought best represented the UFO from that […]
By Tien Dang Introduction Power level, power lost, and heat product are the problems that we need to maintain during testing and demoing period. To maintain the power level, we need to use a voltage regulator (https://www.arxterra.com/voltage-regulator), but power lost and heat product are always there, all we can do is deduce them to a […]
By Kristine Abatay – Project Manager In true undergrad fashion, the completion of Spiderbot is behind schedule. An image of the updated schedule is posted below, along with the allocation of tasks for the group members in the Gantt chart below it: As anticipated, the printing of 3D parts for Spiderbot had to be […]
By Simon Abatay – 3D Modeling & Manufacturing This semester, Spiderbot will try out a new method for the pan and tilt portion of the robot. The pan and tilt portion of Spiderbot was designed so that the placement of the smart phone with the Arxterra app will be flat and face-down. This can be […]
By Matthew Clegg – Computer & Control Systems Many issues were faced when working with prototype Chop Suey. During the initial stages of coding, a single servo was connected to a single breakout board, with power being supplied by a DC power supply in a CSULB classroom. When code was uploaded, the servo would execute […]
