Ping Pong Ball Control Feedback Project

We use this project in our introductory robotics and control engineering class to teach control feedback. 

Students should have a basic knowledge of programming. We use Micropython on the Raspberry Pi Pico but you can use anything your students are programming in.

The following is needed per station:

1. Printed parts
2. Circuit boards, Gerber files attached (Can get them for $4 each on DKRed or far cheaper from JLCPCB if able to order from foreign companies)
3. Raspberry Pi Pico
4. Power jack
5. 2x headers
6. JST-XH 3 pin male
7. JST-XH 4 pin male
8. JST-XH 3 pin female
9. 9200 RPM 5015 fan
10. 4.7k 0805 resistor
11. Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F distance sensor
12. Distance sensor cable
13. 24v power supply
14. Generic ping pong ball
