Coding
Below are four projects that are built through coding and by connecting sensors. The process can be found by clicking on the arrow.
Tools_
Sensors
Visual Studio Code
Processing 4
project 01
Representation
Learning how to express both natural and fictional systems in code
and electronics using system diagrams and flowcharts, modeling systems in code, code as narrative, and expressed imagination
Depict the ecosystem of the ocean and how trash can kill animals. A lot of plastic waste and single-use products such as masks, latex gloves, etc, are being thrown away into the ocean.
OCEAN + WHALES
Ball Movement
project 02
Control
Experimenting with the affordances of control, influence and
coercion through physical and graphical interface strategies.
Learning Affordances and limitations of physical and digital interface, dealing with complexity, gestalt principles in UI design
microinteractions
Sensors
Pressure Sensor
Accelerometer and Gyroscope
I wanted to create a game that involved juice, lemon, and a cup so that the user can control the lemon with the controller and roll it into the squeezer and fill the cup with juice. I thought it would be cool to see the ball moving in 3D space.
Is My Package Here?
project 03
Communication
Working to reuse and repurpose technology to create an integrated system that includes physical, graphical, and networking components.
Learned connecting physical and digital, standards, protocols, documentation , layers of abstraction, and limitations of expertise. (Computers as reliable magic)
Sensors
Digital Distance Sensor with Pololu Carrier
Button
Sometimes, I'm not sure if my packages have arrived or not and I find myself constantly checking every hour. Other times, I find myself wondering where it is when the package has already been delivered to my front door. So I've created a system where it would tell me when a package has been left in front of the door.
Package Security
project 04
Exploration
Using research and self-learning strategies to build a project
within the scope of pre-defined tools and technologies. Prototyping strategies- Combines physical, digital, and networking components - Using sensors, actuators, screen-based control, screen-based data points - Web-based API for data exchange
Sensors
Buzzer5v
3w RGB LED
Illuminated Toggle Switch with Cover
As more and more people start to conveniently order things online and get them delivered in front of their door, package poachers became more prominent too. This made many people nervous about their package being left outside of their house for too long. Which can explain the reason why many people choose to purchase security cameras just for this reason. (video doorbell sales globally could hit $1.4 billion over the next year.)
