I worked on this week’s lab with Meredith.  First we set everything up as specified in the lab.  No real problems, pretty straight forward as the video below shows. Then we wanted to visualize the signal from the serial in a more personal, creative way, so I adapted the big orange circle and blue background [...]

Week 4 of Intro to Physical Computing @ ITP involved learning about analog output on the Arduino microprocessor and getting familiar with servo motors. Physical Computing Week 4 – Evil Servobot from lee-sean on Vimeo. I decided to take a riff on the lab assignment and attempt to create pure evil with limited resources (and [...]

I worked with Catherine on this week’s lab in Physical Computing, which involved getting familiar with basic electronics.

I worked with my classmate Meredith for the Analog In lab in week 2 of Intro to Physical Computing @ ITP. First, we reconstructed the potentiometer and LED breadboard & Arduino setup according to the lab documentation.  After getting familiar with the hardware last week, this week was much easier, and we were able to [...]

Here are my notes from my observation assignment from week 2 of Intro to Physical Computing at ITP. Observation Assignment The goal of this assignment is to develop the habit of detailed observation of what people physically do when they use the kinds of technologies we’re developing. In order to develop good physical interfaces, you [...]
