Final Project – Research

I am doing some research for my final project in Physical Computing, which will be an instrument that makes use of an accelerometer, and I found this great video of Jean Laurendeau giving a demonstration of the ondes martenot: Here are a couple video stills of the demonstration:

ISD17240 IC Voice Record/Play

Manuel and I worked together to build out the ISD17240 IC Voice Record/Play Chip on our breadboard. We used Example #1 (page 78) from the data sheet which made use of a microphone and push-buttons. Here is a video demonstration of the finished project:

Arduino Serial Communication with Processing

Manuel and I worked together to attach the Arduino chip in the Breadboard to the Breakout board. We were working with a 3.3V chip (FT232R), so we had to break the soldered link between 3.3VCC and VCC on the top of the chip. We then put code on our Arduino chip to provide serial data [...]

Arduino and Serial Communication with LCD

To start off on this project, I first made sure that I had my LCD hooked up correctly with the Arduino, so I ran Joel Murphy’s code that he supplied via e-mail. All went ok (I did have to delete a line or two of code in the variable definition area because they were not [...]

Servo Motor "Gesture" Homework

For the Servo Motor “Gesture” assignment, I chose to use the servo motor/potentiometer as a LED “light” instrument. I attached an LED to the end of a cardboard plank which was attached to the servo motor (so I could move the light from side to side). I then used a Max MSP patch which Robert [...]

Ardiuno – Code Lock and Bread Board (completed)

Here is a video demonstration of the Code Lock and Arduino chip on the Bread Board homework: Some items that were very helpful on the final step of building the Bread Board was this Arduino bread board tutorial. Provided in that tutorial is a detailed pin layout of the Arduino chip (which you can get [...]

Arduino – Bread Board and Code Lock (interim step)

Here is an interim step in the Arduino Code Lock homework.  The ATMEGA chip is still in the Arduino board, but I have the programming completed and set-up: Some things that were very helpful on this one were the Button State Change tutorial and the Boolean Operators on the Reference page.
