display the FRof the output [using vout(f = 1 kHz) as a reference] from 1 Hz to 3 MHz with 3 points per decade.This measurement is not automated. Data is collected by hand. Students change the signalfrequency and record the data from DSP for each frequency. Figure 4 shows the FR of thecircuit. The output signal begins to significantly roll off above 100 kHz. Dropping below the 3dB level between the 220 kHz and 460 kHz level. Students will repeat this measurement usingthe x10 feature of the scope and probes to see the affect that has on the output. a. b.

to engage the player inthree different modes. The first mode involves the robot tracking the player and serving ping pongballs to them at their location. The second phase involves the robot purposefully shooting balls atareas where the player is not present. The third mode alternates between serving ping pong balls atthe player's position and serving ping pong balls at areas where the player is not present. For thisreason, a convoluted neural network is utilized, and the model created was simulated withmatplotlib, where the model's accuracy was tested. The raspberry pi 4 b+ serves as the robot's brain,on which a generalized neural network was trained to detect the shape of a human player as well ashand signals for numbers one, two, and three
