Intro to Physical Comp (ITPG-GT 2301 001)

Four drums you play with your arms. Camera at the center of the board. No speakers. GitHub What I tried first, and why I stopped I wanted to read a dancer’s internal tempo and generate music to match it. I…

This is was a straightforward lab. After I got that running, I made a little musical instrument. The button triggers a note, and the potentiometer controls the pitch. Here’s the code I wrote for it (I also imported the Tone.js…

With my coding background, this week’s labs were all very simple for me. Everything worked and it was easy to see how and why it was working. I didn’t have any trouble. Because my old Arduino is still installed in…

Be Afraid is a Halloween-themed interactive experience that combines computer vision and physical actuators to reward users for successfully emoting,as judged by artificial intelligence, in a frightened or surprised way.

These were fun labs. Here’s how I used the Arduino and a transistor to control an externally powered DC motor (not using the potentiometer yet): Getting the light to dim with the potentiometer was easy enough, although I was surprised…

This week’s lab was very simple. I was able to set up the breadboard and run the required code will no trouble. I set the threshold for the FSR to 250, as this was in the middle of its range.

I didn’t have much trouble with these labs. In both cases, it was simply a matter of wiring up the breadboard as specified and running the provided code. I’ll start with the servo motor, since it was the easiest. The…

I started with the digital input and output lab. Before I wired anything up, I wanted to understand how the circuit worked. My first question was: Why did the push-button’s output need to be split, with one end going to…
