Serial monitor results using Serial.write() in Arduino : ASCII representation of the byte using CoolTerm : Hexadecimal representation using CoolTerm : Graph of sensor values in processing : http://at1f.com/physical-computing/lab-5-serial-out-using-an-arduino/ GOAL : control a servomotor's position using the value returned from an analog sensor. http://at1f.com/physical-computing/lab-4-servo-motor-control-with-an-arduino/ What I ended up doing for my Stupid Pet Trick was completely different from my initial idea. From the 2 ideas that I had I started on the camera idea and actually got it up and running. How it worked ; a motion sensor triggered a camera to take a photo. ... http://at1f.com/physical-computing/stupid-pet-trick-make-it-rain-machine/ This week we were introduced to Objects and Functions. This helps us move away from repetitive & tedious coding, simplifying the programming of your sketch. We were assigned to take a previous assignment and reorganize the code using functions and objects. Click here from Lab 4. Preview: http://at1f.com/intro-to-computational-media/icm-lab-4/ This week things got a bit more interesting, after learning the basics of sketching and animating, we have now transitioned into creating interactive pieces using Processing. I decided to take my sketch from Lab 1 and strip down the turtle giving the use the ability to dress it by clicking on the ... http://at1f.com/intro-to-computational-media/icm-lab-3/ This week we transitions from static to animated sketches in Processing and learned mousepress/keypress commands. Link to Lab 2. Preview: http://at1f.com/intro-to-computational-media/icm-lab-2/ For our first ICM assignment we were asked to create a screen drawing using processing. I decided to keep it simple since I had little-to-no experience with programing in Processing. You can view Lab 1 here. Preview: http://at1f.com/intro-to-computational-media/icm-lab-1/ http://at1f.com/video-and-sound/lab-2-short-film-story-board/ I have 2 ideas for my stupid pet trick. 1. CAMERA TRIGGERED BY SENSOR IN HAT I would like to create a device that takes a photograph using a digital camera after a physical interaction triggers it. I would like the camera to be triggers once someone puts on a specific ... http://at1f.com/physical-computing/stupid-pet-trick-sketch/ Goal : Practicing basic electronic principles by trying them in action. Measuring  voltage, amperage, and resistance using a multimeter. STEP 6 : Building a basic LED circuit using an external power source and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator converted the 12V input from the power source to 5V transmitted to the circuit. VOLTAGE ... http://at1f.com/physical-computing/lab-3-electronics/
