Transistor circuit with LED on!
I finally made a transistor circuit worked by myself. I previously asked Todd for help, and he demonstrated an example circuit for me but I never made one for my own. So today I decided to make my simple circuit with a transistor to light LED.
It's "PIN-US", two distinct words with hyphen.
As the 2-week long midterm project for Intro to Physical Computing(pcomp) at ITP, I’ve teamed up with a pcomp genius Mike and creative wizkid Diana to develop a 3D visualization tool for multiple people communicating through online chatting or remote locations.
Breadboard w/ 2 analog pins(potentiometers) and 1 digital pin (switch)
For Physical Computing class at ITP this week, I did and exercise for studying multiple serial output with Processing and Arduino based on ITP’s instruction page.
The objective of this exercise was to have analog pins and digital switch control the location and movement of something drawn in Processing screen. I
So my structure has two analog sensors (used potentiometers due to the material availability) to analog pins 0 and 1, and a digital switch to digital pin 2 as shown in the photo.
My concept sketch
For the midterm for Physical Computing class, I am making a remote 3D model visualizer together with Diana and Mike.
Setting up Arduino
For week 6 homework for Physical Computing (pcomp) at ITP, (it’s actually still week 5, but I miscounted my homework files in the beginning so numbering my works accordingly) I made a serial output between Arduino and Processing programs, based on a simple analog circuit with a potentiometer. After setting up the Arduino board with potentiometer (analog circuit), I programmed in Arduino according to the assignment Web tutorial, and checked the “Serial Monitor”.
Sketches
For pcomp, I spent another day with servo for an experiment. First, at a coffee shop near ITP, I was thinking about what I could possibly do with a motor propeller that rotates only 180 degree. I got the idea of creating some structure that rotates 180 degrees, but looks like it turned 360 degrees. I don’t know how to call the structure (I’m sure it has a name), but I remember watching similar structural mobile at street fairs in town.
