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 […]
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 […]
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”) […]
GYROSCOPE Gyro L3G4200D detects or measure rotation on 3 axis: x, y and z. It has three selectable scales: 250 , 500 or 2000 deg/sec. Gyros are not affected by gravity (like accelerometers) and can give you exact information how object is orientated. Gyros and accelerometers are often used together because of great complement to […]
CUSTOM MADE TEXTILE PRESSURE AND BEND SENSOR Custom made pressure and bend textile sensors I connected to the same drawing application. Both sensors are having bigger range then commercial bend sensors (from 20 minimum value to 900 maximum value). Drawing with textile sensors Textile bend sensor Textile pressure sensor changes the value when it’s […]
BEND SENSORS Connecting 3 bend sensors with 3 resistors (voltage divider) to 3 analog pins A0, A1 and A2 on the Arduino board. Bend sensor change the value when it’s bended. I was reading the values of the bend sensors (with AnalogRedSerial) through Serial monitor and noticed a small range: from 140 as […]
FINAL PROJECT UPDATE 1 I was working with movement sensors and connected it with Processing to make interesting pattern drawing applications. I decided to work with bend sensors, custom made textile sensors, potentiometers, accelerometer and gyro. At the beginning I connected each sensor with Arduino to read the value and then to Processing and coded […]
INSPIRATION + Processing programming language as new approach to drawing patterns + x-IMU gloves + connect 2D virtual space with 3D physical space as interesting way of presentation light object with different patterns (maybe for later projects) + textile, wearable technology and movement (contemporary dance) IDEA AND OUTPUT With research of gyros, accelerometers […]
Hand-weaved textile I made on table loom with black and white thread + EL wire. Large weaved light textile can be interactive light space divider in flats e.g. lofts. EL wire needs inverter to light or blink. I wanted to control EL wire with Arduino so I hacked it. I planned to connect it […]
