  [Midterm] String Installation

  Posted on December 5, 2011 by lp1251 in Intro to Physical Computing

  For Media Controller Project, Monica, Luisa, and I worked together as a group. Our attempt was to create an environment that allows people to use their body to fully experience the joy of playing an instrument. We used conductive threads to activate sounds from using Ardunio syned with midi software. And non-conductive threads were used [...]

  “Obsession is sad passion” [process]

  Posted on December 5, 2011 by lp1251 in Intro to Physical Computing

  I wore Polar Wear link underneath my chest area, so it could detect my heart beat easily. This Polar wear link sends information to RMCM01 receiver chip, which is connected to a breadboard. These are images shows how I set up RMCM01, 32KHz crystal to breadboard and connected to an arduino. Arduino setup: First, I [...]

  “Obsession is sad passion” Final Project

  Posted on November 16, 2011 by lp1251 in Intro to Physical Computing

  LAB: Multiple Serial Output

  Posted on October 17, 2011 by lp1251 in Intro to Physical Computing

  First, I set up the arduino board like I did for the analog lab by connecting two sensors (flex sensors) to analog pin 1 and 2. The next step was to connect the switch to digital pin 2. When I put the code Serial.println(analogValue); and opened the serial monitor, the number between 0 ~ 160 [...]

  Reflect on the readings, observation of NYC Metro Card

  Posted on October 16, 2011 by lp1251 in Intro to Physical Computing

  Now that I’ve lived in New York for nearly 2 months, I find New York’s subway system very fascinating to be observed. The subway in New York is the most essential transportation that people use in their daily lives. So, I picked the subway card swipe machine (an interactive technology in public) to make an [...]

  Based on the skills we have learned in PComp class, I decided to create a “decision-making Hat” for my Stupid Pet Trick. I came up with my idea from an experience of being indecisive about which food to order in a restaurant. With that being said, I wanted to make an object that would simply [...]
