We’re in the last leg of production for my Phys Comp class’s final, and progress being made. There are, however, a lot of moving parts. The following is…
I’ve been wanting to play around with the Electret Microphone and addressable LEDs to create a lighting fixture that interacts with ambient noise. I’ve been trying to…
I’ve been a big proponent of cottage style industry for years now, and I spent my time dreaming up different solutions to marry technology with craft. One of…
I love stepper motors because they can go in either direction, and they have infinite rotations in either direction. Lots of fun! Can’t wait to add a stepper…
For a long time, I was of the mind that the best forms of interactivity were invisible. With this mindset, physical interfaces seemed to me to be…
For Physical computing, I worked pretty hard this week to wrap my mind around serial communication. Communicating between a Arduino microcontroller and Processing will be hugely important for…
Here’s the Game of Throne‘s Theme on the Arduino. Pretty self-explanatory. Right now the code is: int melody[] = { NOTE_G3 , NOTE_C3, NOTE_DS3, NOTE_F3, NOTE_G3 ,NOTE_C3, NOTE_DS3,…
This week’s assignment involves musing on a piece of interactive technology used in public by multiple people. Perhaps my mind is perpetually in the gutter, but I couldn’t…
Interaction with technology requires the user to engage in momentary suspension of the belief that the material world is unfeeling– unwittingly manipulated by conscious parties. Interactivity realized to…
Sometimes I use the state of my coffee table as a kind of magic mirror through which I can glean some pretty powerful insights into my life–like…
