Recitations

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

The first Interaction Lab recitation started with the introduction to the basics of identifying components, connecting electric circuits, and soldering. We used the materials shown on the picture below: Circuit 1: Door Bell The aim of this circuit is to make the speaker makes noise when pushing the button switch. Components: 12 volt power supply: … Continue reading Recitation 1: Electronics & Soldering
