Physical Computing Final

By in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

Liz and I finally finished our Physical Computing final project, Painted Circuits. Please see our code, as well as my previous process posts (initial idea, traces, progress 1, progress 2). This art piece was created to decorate the home of an electronically savvy person. Through the exploration of conductive paint and the often overlooked beauty […]

Light/Time Final

By in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

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 in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

Liz 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 in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

I 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 […]

Interface Final Update

By in Fall 2010, Major Studio: Interface

Please see my previous post on the process of this project and my initial mock-ups. Once I cleaned out all of the innards of the computer body, I wanted to take apart the screen in order to see what I might be able to do with it, as well as how it worked, so that […]

PComp Final Progress 1

By in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

Liz 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), […]

PCB Traces

By in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1

Below are traces of the circuits on Arduino and LilyPad PCB boards. Liz and I are going to use these circuits in our night light painting design for our Physical Computing final.

Interface Final Project Mock-ups

By in Fall 2010, Major Studio: Interface

After 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 […]
