READ STUFF
Week 7 - Interfacing
Feb 20, 2018
Workshop: Interfacing (Serial Communication) Read: Arduino Serial (Igoe - ITP) (watch the video) Read: Arduino <--> Processing Read (Optional): Serial, Math, Types Read (Optional): Common Serial Protocols Handout: Week 4 Handout TASK: Install Processing 3.0.1+ TASK: Install the Sound library for Processing (Sketch/Import Library.../Add Library...) NEW! Presentation: Week 4 Presentation
Week 8 - Motors/High Powered Out
Feb 27, 2018
Read: Hartman, chapter 8 (Motors & Temperature). Recommend to read the first half of chapter 8 as well (Light & Sound). Read (review): POWER! Read (review): Diodes, Transistors, & Relays Handout: Week 8 Handout Presentation: Week 5 Presentation
Week 9 - Computer Vision
March 6, 2018
There is no handout this week as all of the technologies in the previous one were out of date. We'll follow a different structure this week.
Read: Tangible User Interfaces: Past, Present and Future Directions section 7.2 (it's like 4 pages) Task: Upgrade Processing to 3.0.2 Task: Install Video Library (in Processing) Task: Run the GettingStartedCapture example that comes with it. Modify the sketch to manipulate the camera feed in some way. Task: Install Open CV for Processing Library Task: Think of 3 ways to use camera vision
Week 10 - Wireless Communication
Mar 13, 2018
Read: Hartman, chapter 9 (Wireless) Read: Open Sound Control (OSC) (http://opensoundcontrol.org and the CNMAT site are down, but the above explanation is actually really good) Handout: Week 10 Handout
Week 11 - Advanced Sensors
