Bread Band BY: XIAO ZHOU AND CHAOYUE YUAN Brainstorming Prototype Ideas: Our original idea, for the final project was to 3-D, print a piano and a drum. These two would be placed on top of boxes that would have buttons to play the sounds of these two instruments. As you can see this ideas very … Continue reading Bread Band – Chaoyue Yuan – Rudi’s

Recitation 10: Image & Video This is a prototype for my final project. We are using buttons to control the animations on processing.  I started with one button to play the “do” note, so I replicated the circuit to allow the next button to control the “re” note.  After the circuit was done, I played … Continue reading Recitation 10: Image & Video

Recitation 9: Digital Fabrication For this recitation, I worked with Calvin Lin. He worked on building A while I did B.  After, we each created a pattern to be 3-D printed. Our original patterns did not work because there were too many intersecting lines, so we sat down and recreated these shapes. Then, we took … Continue reading Recitation 9: Digital Fabrication

Musical Representation          Music is a topic that is interesting to many; however, it is challenging to produce. For example, the piano is one of the most difficult is not the most difficult instrument to learn. Playing the piano requires knowledge on reading, musical notes, and the ability to translate these notes … Continue reading PROPOSAL ESSAY

Task 1: draw line code   We had problems with the float values, but a learning assistant came and guided us to put “float pre1;” and “float pre2;” before the void setup. Although the code works, I find it hard to control where you are drawing lines. /** * Example sketch for the SerialRecord library for Processing.  *  * Receives two integers from the serial port, and uses them to control the x  * and y position of a circle on the canvas.  */ import processing.serial.*; … Continue reading Recitation 8: Serial Communication

FINAL PROJECT:THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS Project 1: Heart Rate Visualizer  I want to display a heart rate screen on processing. This screen will be connected to a wrist band that can detect you pulse, which will send signals to the screen. This will create tall red peaks for fast heart beats and more blue horizontal lines … Continue reading FINAL PROJECT:THREE PROJECT PROPOSALS

  Final Project: Research I want to display a heart rate screen on processing. This screen will be connected to a wrist band that can detect you pulse, which will send signals to the screen. This will create tall red peaks for fast heart beats and more blue horizontal lines for slow beats.  Inspiration: https://www.behance.net/gallery/34600477/AirStamp-Tangible-Interaction-Exploration?tracking_source=search_projects%7CProcessing+Arduino+ … Continue reading Final Project Proposal

Recitation 7: Neopixel Music Visualization In task #1, I followed the directions to connect the NeoPixels to the Arduino board and download the libraries on Arduino and Processing. After this, I opened the FastLED/Blink example to make sure the NeoPixel was working, which it was; the first LED was blinking.   In task #2, I … Continue reading Recitation 7: Neopixel Music Visualization

Recitation 6: Animating an Interactive Poster   For this recitation, I learned how to draw hearts with processing. It was hard at first because of all the variables, but after distinguishing the difference between each the hearts duplicated with no problem.  The most interesting I included was something we learned in class. The hearts crowded … Continue reading Recitation 6: Animating an Interactive Poster

Recitation 5: Processing Basics I chose this picture of beef tartar from a restaurant I recently ate at because it is a good representation of what I like to do every day, which is eat out. This also has many shapes that can beginners can create using processing. For this drawing the shapes that I … Continue reading Recitation 5: Processing Basics
