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 ]

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 ]

Serial Part deux

There’s always something interesting when programming a microcontroller and the instructions don’t exactly tell you when to switch from one program to another. It was quite challenging at first but just read carefully between the lines, it’s all there. This reminds me of the first word that was on the original Macintosh in [ READ MORE ]

Serial conenction

Hooked up the arduino to the mac via USB and using Processing to show a visual reference to the connection which I’m manipulating via the potentiometer[ READ MORE ]

Servo and Tone

I think I’ve just made my own Theremin Machine. Or at least something to annoy the neighbors[ READ MORE ]

Stupid Pet trick

As part of every student in physical computing is to complete the stupid pet trick and mine is the “belly monitor”. After some unusual ideas deliberated over in class, I’ve ended up with a belly monitor that monitors your eating limit. Since this varies from person to person, I’ve decided to proceed with a two [ READ MORE ]
