instruction:https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-4-actuators-and-mechanisms/ The project required us to build a machine using a stepper motor and its accessories to achieve a mechanism movement. I worked in pair with Andy. We devided our tasks. Andy built the circuit and I did the cardboard cutting and assembling. I first glued the blueprint to the cardboard, and cut the cardboard according to the lines. Putting the ruler at some angles to the right arm will cut a straight line closely aligned to the ruler. Sometimes the line is very close to the margin of the … [Read more...] about Recitation4: Documentation

I thought the tilt switch and the capacitor were not connected. The output looked like this: And this is the circuit after I fixed the problem. Videos shows the output changes according to the rotation of tilt switch. Step 4 task1's video: Step 4 task2's video: Step4 task3's video: Step5 I add a potentiometer to my circuit and I can set the … [Read more...] about Documentation3

Instruction:https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-2-arduino-basics-2/ Task0: Preparation: Task1: Fading: The task is not difficult. I built the circuit and find code in the example. The code uses an iterator of a for loop to control the illuminance of the LED. Task2: toneMelody The task is to create a circuit which can play a piece of melody. It is not difficult. Following the instructions, I built the circuit and upload the code I found in the example. I moved the code in the setup() to the loop(), so it can play the music … [Read more...] about Recitation2: Documentation

Task1 build circuits instructions:https://wp.nyu.edu/shanghai-ima-interaction-lab/recitation-1-electronics-soldering-3/ the first step is to build some circuits according to the diagrams. the breadboard seems too small, so we did the steps alternately. My peers Andy did steps 1,3, and I did step 2. step1 went smoothly. The only difficult part is that we forgot the direction of the switch. When Andy set the switch to the board, the buzzer buzzed immediately. Then we changed the direction, together with accorded wires' positions because the switch is 3 by 4 … [Read more...] about Recitation1: Documentation
