Motor Kits

Over the winter break I was able to procure these at a hobby shop in the Bay Area. I’ve worked with Tamiya kits since I was in grade school and have found the quality of their kits reliable and efficient. Upon coming back to New York for the Spring term I decided to assemble one [ READ MORE ]

PCOMP Final final project

After numerous revisions it’s finally finished. More or less. Working with small parts is very difficult especially with 30 gauge wire which is barely a thread and breaks easily which is one of the main problems I encountered with this project. The code is working great. But I may have crossed some wires that make [ READ MORE ]

PCOMP Finals update

Dropped Processing. Dropped Temp sensor. Long live the Ultrasonic sensor. I gave in and picked up the ultrasonic sensor. A quick jab at the library and pasted the same values I had for the temp and got it working. I initially used a central ground to reduce the cabling and copper tape to for the [ READ MORE ]

Pampanga Lantern Weekend update

I decided not to fly out for Thanksgiving and instead work on my Physical Computing final project. I initially started out Thanksgiving by going through the Muppet Show episodes and getting the Open CV code to work. My classmate Adria Navarro-Lopez suggested to use the OpenCV library instead of the Open Kinect to make things [ READ MORE ]

Pampanga lantern – Physical Computing Final

  Sooo my last idea didn’t exactly fly but that’s the way it is here. My classmates instead gave me better ideas to make this more interesting. One that resonated was suggested by Lisa Park that I should look at the work of installation artist Olafur Eliasson and his installation work in London called the [ READ MORE ]

Final Project for Physical Computing

Thinking of a final project is hard. Like I need ice cream to get through this hard. At first I wanted to make a robot hand being controlled by a glove. than I listed the parts I would need and that posed a significant technical problem in itself. I wanted the glove and the robot [ READ MORE ]

Graffiti in a can/ media controller

Inspired by “Picasso’s Drawing with Light” we wanted to make something similar but instead of taking pictures, we would be using live video. http://www.life.com/embed/index/gallery/id/24871/size/large/isHd/0 While Picasso used a slow shutter speed and a quick hand with a flashlight to create the images. We used arduino and processing to create our own “graffiti can”. Initially we [ READ MORE ]
