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. […]

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 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 […]

What I made today in PComp
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Today was transistor day in Physical Computing. Well, not exactly, but we did learn a lot about transistors. Below are the lessons/projects we worked on in class. 1. We each made a circuit with two LEDs & one button, powered by a 9 volt battery. When one LED is lit, the other is dark. When […]

Potentiometer, Photo Resistor, Joystick
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For our PComp HW this week, the assignment was to learn how to use a potentiometer, photo-resister, and joystick, and then make something cool. I started by testing a potentiometer using this tutorial code. One side is connected to 5V, the other side is connected to ground. The middle pin is connected to Analog-In pin […]

Light & Time Process
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For my project, I decided to prototype my Technology Timer idea because it is the most executable and falls in the realm of wearable technology, a topic I would like to explore further in the future. I started by designing a timer on the bread board. I wanted a series of lights to mark the […]

Project Ideas
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For this week’s Physical Computing assignment, we are challenged with using light to mark the passage of time. No sound, buttons, or sensors can be used, the “thing” has to be self contained in a container of our choosing/creation, and it cannot be connect to a computer while in use. Here are my preliminary ideas: […]
