This weeks PComp lab involved tracking the inputs for multiple sensors,  changing the display output between binary, Decimal, and ASCII characters,concatenating the string (ie adding the various parts), and sending all of this data to processing: either continuously or only … Continue reading →

This week for Physical Computing the lab involved getting the arduino board to communicate with a Processing sketch using the serial port. The circuit build was quite simple, just power, ground, a variable resistor (I used a potentiometer) and a … Continue reading →

I was unsure what direction to take my pet trick originally. I started with the light alarm (mentioned in an earlier post) and considered just adding a speaker. From there, I was stuck between two ideas: a model elevator, or … Continue reading →

So I originally did the Tone lab for PComp this past weekend, but in my rush to complete the assignment I completely forgot to document doing it (and thus technically didn’t do it at all). This second time around things … Continue reading →

Hooray! I can finally use my arduino to control moving pieces (though I am also a fan of the blinking lights). The wiring for this project is rather simple. I hooked up the power and ground to the breadboard, a … Continue reading →
