IMA journey
In this recitation, my partner and I learned to use H-Bridge and stepper motors while creating a drawing machine. Following the instructions, we finished the process in three steps: building the hardware circuit, controlling the rotation of the drawing machine with a potentiometer, and finally building a drawing machine. New Components: 42STH33-0404AC stepper motor – … Continue reading Recitation 4: Drawing Machine
Life Tracker In the fictional story, Fish of Lijiang, the protagonist was undergoing mental aging and unconsciousness due to the unknown exposure in the new hazardous technology, time sense compressor, inserted on the lower and middle-class workers. In the book, he “wakes up in the morning, but not knowing it is the second or the … Continue reading Group Research Project 3: Reflect
In this recitation, my partner and I created circuits with a new sensor, an ultrasonic ranger. Without the given schematics and instructions to follow, we successfully created two functioning circuits and discovered the fun of writing codes. Question 1: What did you intend to assemble in the recitation exercise? If your sensor/actuator combination were to be … Continue reading Recitation 3: Sensors
In our second recitation, we received our own Arduino and soldering tool kit; then, we had an individual hands-on exploration with Arduino. We had our first experience connecting some relatively more complex circuits and had a glimpse of the joy of working with electricity and Arduino. Circuit 1: Fade In this circuit, the Arduino coding … Continue reading Recitation 2: Arduino Basics
Newton’s Sleep – Emotion Tracker In the story, when the teenage girl, Esther, was sixteen, ‘her temper was pretty moody.’ It was mentioned that ‘Ike couldn’t seem to say much lately without her jumping him.’. Usually, Ike did not understand her hostile and sometimes aggressive behavior. Inspired by this, I have an idea of an Emotion … Continue reading Group Research Project 2: Three Interactive Artifacts
