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 Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1After 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), […]

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 […]

Light/Time Iterations
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Look/Feel Iterations: Leather bracelet I wanted to see what a different material would look like for the bracelet. I decided a flatter, more normal looking bracelet would make this piece look like any other piece of jewelry one might decide to wear normally. The leather achieves this, and I am pleased that it has a […]

Gestural Movement Project
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For our Physical Computing homework this week, we were tasked with creating a project that showed gesture using a Servo Motor. Lara and I teamed up and combined our servo-skills and hardware. Inspired by Arthur Ganson‘s work, we decided to create a butterfly whose wings would flap gracefully. We started by coding our motors to […]

PComp HW #6
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1This week’s assignment was to work with an Infrared (IR) sensor, read the data coming into it, and linearize that data. I worked collaboratively with Oylum Boran, Liz Kauff, and Adam Scher. We began by simply connecting the IR sensor to the Arduino and using simple analogRead and Serial.print commands to see how the sensor […]
