Kinetic Space: Conclusion
Hello everyone! After working in this project for a month, I must say that my expectations where very high and communication between Processing and Arduino is much more complex than I thought! But I can not complain about the process and all that I learned, and the outcome was actually very nice. My intention with […]
Cycle Pole: Conclusion
Hey everyone, here is a final update on the outcome of my project. I designed the concept Cycle last summer. One year later, I now got back to the project to ‘make it work’. My goal was to create a fully functioning prototype, to be able to do real life user testing in an exemplary […]
Pattern creations by sensing body motion 8
Collection of patterns Patterns are created by hand movement and accelerometer. Each time development of the patterns is different, because you never move your body twice the same way. Processing code for creating this patterns import processing.serial.*; float sensorX=0; float sensorY =0; float sensorZ =0; float x; float y; float z; float […]
Thermochromic Ink Tutorial
I decided to silk screen print Thermochromic Ink of fabric. Here’s how I worked with the material! Thermochromic paints that were available: (http://www.cornelius.co.uk/search) Chromicolor® AQ Ink Type 10 Magenta colour change occurs between 8-16C. Chromicolor® AQ Ink Type 27 Magenta colour change occurs between 24-33C. Chromicolor® AQ Ink Type 15 Fast Blue Colour change occurs […]
Final Project: 9th update
For my new prototype, I designed internals, that slide into the tube and hold the electronics in place. I made them in the workshop from MDF. Although my new prototype also serves as a visual model, these internals are not primarily designed to exactly fit the prototypes electronics and do not necessarily represent the internals […]
Final Project: 8th Update
Testing My Quik’N’Dirty prototype is finished. I boiled down the core functions to one prototype with adjustable heights and widths for testing. I applied my electronic setup. Here are some first impressions from setting it up in the workshop: This morning I took the prototype to my exemplary case scenario S Prenzlauer Allee. Here are […]

WIRELESS CONNECTION I connected Bluetooth Silver Module with right angle female header 6 pins. On LilyPad simple board bluetooth pin needs to be connected to +. Because added battery to the board bluetooth pins are not charged by the board. LilyPad simple board Bluetooth module connected with the LilyPad board Connect LilyPad board […]
Pattern creations by sensing body motion 6
CONNECTING 4 SENSORS WITH 6 ANALOG PINS I was testing bends sensors if they are working with LilyPad (3.3V) although they need 5V power. Later I connected them with accelerometer (3 analog pins; x,y and z). It is always good to check serial monitor or printed values to see if values are stable […]

MORE DRAWING APPLICATION I was exploring drawing (processing code) with accelerometer: 1 – DRAWING PATTERNS WITH ELLIPSES ellipse_ The size of ellipses is changing accordingly to speed of body motion. With fast motion ellipses are bigger and cover hole canvas – they are applying new canvas for drawing (some kind of “reset”) […]
