This week, we make our own PCB design. Lucas Bahle will be showing you how to design PCB on fritzing software and convert it to the file so that CNC milling machine can read it, and we will mill our first PCB! Please download fritzing software from http://fritzing.org/download/ PCB is a short name for Printed […]
This week’s topic is “How to connect physical object with computers” download processing >> https://processing.org/download/ ( install 1.5.1 (15 May 2011) version and not the latest one) PureData >> http://puredata.info/ MaxMSP >> http://cycling74.com/downloads/older/ github example code for the course >> https://github.com/mikst/101/tree/master/week7 example1: Examples >> Communication >> Graph If you look at the Arduino sketch, it […]
This week’s theme: This week, we look into weaving technique as an example method to integrate electronics into materials. You can embed: – conductive thread to embed LED or other types of connections – conductive thread for heating element – EL wire – resistive thread/ yarn to make sensors You can also try knitting, paper […]
May 19th-21st, 10:00-17:00 eLab The workshop page >> http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=5144 You can download the first day’s slide from here >> This “workshop” is a guest lecture by Hannah Perner-Wilson plus hands-on exercise in re-imagining techniques for making electronics to be more integrated in material and craft processes. Kit-of-No-Parts Recipes for Materially Diverse, Functionally Transparent and Expressive […]
Challenge: Read Photocell and control Servo motor according to the light coming into the sensor. – What components do you need?? – How do you connect? – Which code to use? or what you need to modify?? Analog Sensor vs. Digital Sensor What are the differences between analog sensor and digital sensor? Digital Sensors It […]
Again, transistor switch. Can you build transistor switch with DC motor circuit? – DC motor with 5V power supply directly from Arduino – TIP122 transistor – protection diode – push button – pull down resistor Challenge: When you press the button once, the motor starts to turn. When you press the button the second time, […]
Once again, Do you remember how to read sensors -digital sensor (PushButton) -analog sensor (photoCell) Challenge: Connect push button or photocell to your Arduino and control a LED connected to Arduino RGB LED RGB LED is something like 3 LED (red, green, blue) in one with common cathode or anode (The one we have is […]
Once again, Do you remember how to read sensors -digital sensor (PushButton) -analog sensor (photoCell) Challenge: Connect push button or photocell to your Arduino and check the input on SerialMonitor. ——code——— int photocellValue=0; int buttonValue=0; int buttonPin=5; int photocellPin=A4; // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { // initialize serial […]
DAY 3: Let’s see if we remember what we did yesterday. Please make a project that has: – a Photocell connected to A5 – a LED connected to D9 When you close the photocell with your finger, the Light slowly turns on. LED Fade Sequence Instead of controlling the fading by a potentiometer, can we […]
DAY 2: Do you remember what we did yesterday? first exercise: Read push Button into digital input and control LED accordingly. LED turns on only when you press the button. Do you remember how to connect push button to Arduino? Data Type We did not talk about this yesterday, but when you declare new variables, […]
