What’s more, I am also willing to make use of daily stuff with technology… Read more Final Report

This combination of the Arduino and the Processing is actually a part of my final project. The circuits of the it are two buttons, when you press the button, it will blossom fireworks on the screen. So it is required to let the Arduino send the messages and the Processing will receive messages and appear… Read more Recitation 10

A. The band in hands. B. Have you ever imagined that you are a great pianist or drums player? We all know that learning a musical instrument needs to take a long time so that you can play a great melody.

Task 1: This task asks us to send the data from the Arduino to the Processing, which I think is really useful to the final project. It requires to make an Etch-A-Sketch machine by using two potentiometers. So, first I began to build the circuit. Then I stated to write codes. While writing codes, I… Read more Recitation 8: Serial Communication

First A. The Band in Hands B. This project is a kind of musical project, which users can create their own music and unique pictures for their music by using their hands. This project aims to let people create the music in an easy and interactive way. Also, they can get the picture for their… Read more Three Project Proposals

It was so excited to perform my favorite songs in a visual way. First, following the instruction, I began to make LEDs work. It was so cool to order the LEDs light by importing their numbers. Also, the third step in task 2 was also wonderful: as the color of the LEDs can change randomly… Read more Recitation 7

In the final project, I want to achieve a sensorial switch, like when people touching or pressing things and they will feel the sense of listening or other feelings. Depending on this fundamental rule, I have searched two inventions. The first one named “Awakening of Insects”, which is in a shape of cloud and can… Read more Final Project– Research

Here is the video: When you press the “a” on the keyboard, the picture will change. And both background and letters will change their color like a rainbow. Here is the code: int size=100; void setup(){ colorMode(HSB,360,100,100); size(1024,768); } void draw(){ for ( int y = 0; y<height; y=y+size) { for ( int x =… Read more Recitation 6

I chose this picture as it was Halloween and the picture was so cute. Then, I began to draw the sketch and used processing to draw the picture. And in the processing, I used some functions like: arc, ellipse, circle, fill and so on. I draw a little ghost as the main character, and there… Read more Recitation 5

REVIVING — Xiao Zhou — Rudi   CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE “The Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang have always attracted many tourists to come to see the scenery, but the carbon dioxide produced by human breathing will make the salt in the frescoes rapidly deliviate, thus accelerating the cracking and warping of the color layer of the… Read more Midterm Project Report
