My Interaction Lab Recitation 08

Task 1. 

• At first, connecting the breadboard seemed to be the easiest part of the task, however, the uncareful placement of the jump wires did create some problems with Processing later on. Nevertheless, I think the fact that it was hardly identifiable gave a good lesson on how should I approach the task from the start. 
• I extremely enjoyed the interaction with the circuit and the Processing as well as the results I was getting. It made me feel like Bob Ross 2.0 which you will, unfortunately, witness when watching the video of me playing with it.

  TASK 2. 

• My teammate was Nicole 
• We did have a successful ball that was bouncing, however it was extremely hard to sync it with servo. We also only had one servo which made us take a different path. 
• And this would reflect on the interactivity of the ball, so we thought of basketball like if a player was hitting the ball and the ball was bouncing off of the ground. 
• Here’s the video of the final work:
• Arduino code: 

  /*
    SendMultipleValues
  
    This sketch repeatedly sends a record that contains two values:
  
    - The first value is the value of `millis()`, modulo 32768.
    - The second value is the analog value that is read from pin 9. If you attach
      a potentiometer to that pin, you can control this value by moving the pot.
  
    This sketch pairs well with the RecieveMultipleValues example from the
    Processing SerialRecord library
    <https://osteele.github.io/Processing_SerialRecord/>.
  
    Things to try:
    - Connect a second potentiometer to the Arduino, and send the values from both
      potentiometers.
    - Send the value from another sensor, such as temperature or proximity.

  Processing code: 

   
     float circleY;
    float xspeed = 4;
  void setup() {
    size(500, 500);
  circleY = 0;
  
  
  }
  void draw(){
      background(0);
     fill(150);
    stroke(255);
    ellipse(height/2 ,circleY ,50,50);
    circleY = circleY + xspeed;
    
    if (circleY > height){
    xspeed = -4; 
  } if (circleY< 0){
      xspeed = 4;
  }
