After having some issues with my code, I rewired my bracelet to make sure all of the connections were strong and re-coded using arrays and for loops. I also added a Vibration Motor to vibrate at the ending time as an extra indicator. Please see the final images below, as well as my final code. […]

PComp Final Progress 2
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Liz and I have been hard at work to complete our two final projects for Physical Computing. Our collaborative project has taken us a lot of time to bring together because the conductive paint we are using is quite fussy. We finally got all of our errors worked out, however, and we are finally seeing […]

Light & Time – Process Update
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1I decided to re-make the bracelet for my Light/Time project, using a shiny silver fabric (much easier to work with than real leather) and rethinking how to turn the timer on and off. Please see my previous post regarding the process of moving to a Lilypad, as well as my original post with my first […]

PComp Final Progress 1
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Liz and I have been working very hard on our Physical Computing final project, an interactive wall hanging that serves as an ambient night light. We began by simply experimenting with the conductive paint to build a simple circuit with an LED. We tested many circuits by painting, blow drying (to dry the paint faster), […]

Interface Final Project Mock-ups
By Tami in Fall 2010, Major Studio: InterfaceAfter great in-class critique and suggestions, and the generous donation of an old Apple PowerBook G4 by my teacher, I decided to attempt to repurpose an old computer. I began tearing apart the Powerbook using this tutorial. There is also this video, which I of course found after I had already disassembled my machine. There […]

Light & Time Revisited
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1This week I reworked my Light & Time project by changing the look and feel of the bracelet. I decided that the first iteration’s remote Arduino and battery pack would not be so convenient or stylish, so this time I am using a Lilypad Arduino and accessories. The Lilypad Arduino is small and powerful, and […]

PComp Final Ideas
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For this week’s Physical Computing homework, we were to come up with ideas for our final projects. The first part of the final is to create the finished version of our Light and Time project (view posts here, here, and here). Here is the proposal presentation I put together. The second part of the final […]
