I used a Potentiameter with my Arduino to get the data.
Below is my problem with the #2 , which is Ardunio-Processing-PHP-MySQL: take a look at this error, I put the URL and I get a blank page! What is happening here?
1. Copied sample code in BBEdit and modified PHP code using my settings
2. Created database called "testDatabase_sensor" with 3 tables "value", "time", and "date".
3. Uploaded PHP file using FTP
4. tried Arduino-Processing-URL(itp.nyu.edu/~yp364/datalogging/sql_datalog.php?list =1) then got errors (blank page!)
I chose this wireless chip because I previously purchased this when I was visiting Korea. I want to study this wireless chip and apply this to my project. Fortunately I found the data-sheet for this on the internet. This chip is used in remote controls as well as modem type of devices and it is used for data transmissions. This chip also has a remote control feature that has the ablility to turn on and off remote controlled devices. This chip can be used for controlling automatic doors and auto dimming lighting and is also modular. This chips electricty use is about 3-5Volts.
The best feautre about this chip is that it is 'Modular' so it is easy to use. however the chip itself is difficult to understand. This chip is very complicating with many feautres it offers. It has 20 pins that have different functions.
Formal Description:
The RX3310A is a fully integrated, amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) modulation, single chip receiver. It is designed to operate in a variety of low powereed radio application. All popular radio frequencies from 250MHz to 450MHz may be supported by simply choosing the appropriate external components. Particular emphasis has been placed on low current consumption.
Features:
Wide frequency range: 250 MHz to 450 Mhz
High sensitivity
Low power consumption
Automotive termperature range
High integration level requiring few and inexpensive external components
SOP 18L package or SSOP 20L (150mil) package
Applications:
Remote control systems
Car alarm and other security systems
Baby finder, wireless doorbell, wireless toys
High-flex Sensor Heads

Some applications for the Flex Sensor are:
.Collision detection on mobile robots
.VR Gloves and VR suits
.Physics applications and experiments
.Bio-Metrics
Flex/Bend sensor responds to a physical range between straight and a 90 degree bend. This sensor uses the same technology as many of the glove controllers used for video consoles or computer games. It outputs a conditioned signal in the industry standard voltage range of 0.25-4.75 Volts.

She is very organized about Flex Sensor..Take a look at what she has done.....
Flex Sensor Reaction Curve
Flex Sensor's reaction curve: Maximum bend count is 137, and minimum bend count is 35. (average)

- This was my most difficult part, I ran into some problems. I had a difficult time getting the Tri-colored LED legs into the Arduino. I worked on this for 3 days and finally, I was able to get it working, but all 40 Tri-colored LED would not work so I had to give up on the tri-color LED.
- You can see that my components are getting noticably more messy.
- After struggling with the Arduino code, giving up on the Tri-colored LED and giving up on 2 of the 8 IR sensors, I was able to make a working compromise with different LEDs and 6 working IR sensors.
- The inside working components of my musical octagon, is made of all materials that I have used in the PCOM class. For example, I used a bread board, IR sensors, Arduino, and some added materials like a TRI-colored LED, bridgeboard, MIDI, and also some additional wiring. With these materials I put together the basic workings of a touch-less musical instrument by coding my Arduino for many hours.
- In the first picture I am setting up my bread board with the wiring needed to test the code in my Arduino. As you can see it looks hectic, but testing is going well, and my code is seemingly working with the setup of my components that will make the octagon start to play some music.
- In this picture I am setting up my Arduino and breadboard to be mounted inside the octagon sphere. I am finding ways to mount all of the components inside.
- This is the end of my phase 2
- The title of my project is called “The Musical Octagon.” It is a musical instrument that can be played without touching it.
- To make my Octagon, I first started by drawing a diagram of the design I chose (octagon). I first drew it on a piece of paper and from there I put my ideas and drawings onto the computer to make the measurements for my template. Then I printed out the template and decided to choose the material that would be good for this type of design.
- As you can see I decided to use a metal outer material. I used a thin aluminum board that was cut out to the shape of my diagram and with a little help from a sign making company, I was able to use the tools in their shop to bend and cut out my metal template into the octagon shaped dome you see here.
- For the windows of the octagon I used a translucent plastic material and I used some glue and long hours to turn my metal template into the shell of my musical instrument. I also painted it silver to cover the scratches on my octagon sphere.
- This was the first phase of my project.
- MusicVideo
- My concept for this project is a Music Video using Central Park as my background..
- I went to Central Park with a camcorder to get some gloomy scenes late in the afternoon..the weather was gloomy and I was feeling heavy and weak because I was sick..- I made a kind of Music Video with a korean pop song. The song is about women in their 30s feeling lonely and empty, (kind of depressing) and I used korean text fonts to make this music video.
In this Music Video, I wanted to put sound, text, and movie to focus on the synchronizing of sound, text, and images. The work on the movie ran a bit longer then I expected, so I didn't get a chance to add some more variety and interesting effect to this video.
To do this project, I used Adobe illustrator, After-effect and to finish I used Final Cut-pro to edit the movie.
I made lots of layers with fonts using created outline in illustrator and synchronized the sound and text layers in AfterEffects, I thought this was the most efficient way to do this, and then I edited all of the files in Final Cut Pro to make the video..
