Capstone and Portfolio Goals
Portfolio Goals Because I worked for many years as a freelance web developer, I've had a portfolio site for a very long time. Originally, I used the Grav CMS and a theme to build the below site. It was nice enough, with a simple layout, easy to access information, and...
Music Tech Wellness Project – Wearable Metronome
Why make a haptic metronome? Many people have it as a life goal to learn an instrument, make music, or play in a band. But for just as many people, getting started with these things can feel intimidating or scary. A common tool to allow better musical collaboration is...
Lab 5 – Motors
Step 1: DC Motor The DC motor was the first one we worked with because it is one of the more simple setups. We used an H Bridge to control the motor. https://youtu.be/iyCBZmbwIvE Step 2: Stepper Motor The second motor used for this lab is the stepper motor. It is more...
Final Project – Pinball Machine
Click the images in this documentation to view a larger image! For this final project, we wanted to make something using an existing interaction that we enjoyed and could improve upon, or at least learn a lot from trying to replicate. Thus we decided to create a...
Lab 4: Serial Communication
Step 1: In Lab During the lab I setup a basic breadboard input/output to demonstrate using p5 serial communication. In this demo, a potentiometer is used move a pong paddle (game created by Tong) and I added a p5 button that lights up an LED on the board. This simple...
Lab 3 – Analog I/O
Step 1: Analog Input Lab The first lab involved wiring 2 analog sensors to the Arduino. The light sensor is set up using a second light sensor connected to ground to create a voltage-difference that can be measured by the analog input pins. The potentiometer has a...
Lab 2 – Digital I/O
Step 1: Making Breakout Boards During the labs we went over the basics of the NeoPixels and soldering so that we would be better equipped to properly make the breakout boards. During the lab I could not get my NeoPixel to work with my RedBoard (an issue that would...
Lab 1 – Basic Electronics
Step 1 - In Lab In lab, we constructed the two basic circuits, one of which I would go on to use in the project. The series circuit is a bit simpler and saves a resistor, but for my project I chose the parallel circuit because it helped me make sure that both LEDs had...
