Yury at Parsons Wednesday not Tuesday, 6-8:30pm, please RSVP
Hi All,
I’m letting you know that I’ll be coming to Parsons Wednesday 6pm-8:30pm to help people on their projects.
Please RSVP with one line of what you want help on. I’ll put your name on a list and we’ll meet in order. This will be a better use of time.
I’m sorry I can not come today, Tuesday, b/c I have a time conflict setup weeks ago (I did not realize when we discussed this time in class on Friday).
Hope you are making good progress on your projects,
Yury -

PComp 2012 Final Project
Create a “design object” that shows a user’s heartbeat represented with Light, Sound, and/or Vibration.
Step 1: Ideation [Due Nov 30]
One concept can be for example: a glowing orb that flashes red with a user’s heartbeat. The electronic “guts” are similar to what you’ve worked with on your Sound Toy. Make 3 such ideas with a line drawing for each. Emphasis the Role this design object has in a user’s life.
Step 2: Prototyping [Due Dec 7th]
Pick one of your role prototypes from step 1. Make two more prototypes, a implementation prototype and a look and feel prototype. Your implementation prototype to should demonstration the technical function for your final project. The look and feel prototype should show the size, color, weight, and ideal form factor of your final project.
Step 3: Intergrated Prototype, Playtest, and Final Presentation [Due Dec 14th]
Combine your implementation prototype and look and feel prototype, into one working design object. What 3 different end-users interact with it. Take notes on what the interaction is, with particular emphasis on “what happened as you expected” and “what happened that you didn’t expect”.
Present final project, along with your Simon Says, to guest critics on Dec 14th.
Step 4: Documentation [Due Dec 21st]
Based on observations from play-testing and feedback at final critics, create a 90-120 video that demonstrates end-users interacting with your design object from start to finish. The video should include slides with your name and your project’s name. This video should “show” and “tell” about our project to an audience that doesn’t know you and may never get a chance to see your project in their own hands.

Wireless and Wireless Pulse Sensor
1) To hook-up our RX and TX modules, read the KLP Walkthrough Tutorial pin read-out and photos in a breadboard.
2) After Hooking up both of these. Read the VirtualWire.pdf starter guide. Download the VirtualWire-1.9.zip library and unzip it in your Documents/Arduino/libraries/ folder. With a restart of Arduino you’ll see it now pop-up in your available libraries and example sketches.
3) Try running this code. Run the RX code on one Arduino. The “transmitter_pcomp_class” and make sure both work. Then try the “PulseSensorAmped_Arduino_1dot1_wireless_pcomp_class” code with the Pulse Sensor hooked up to the TX Arduino.
Code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60949794/WirelessTX_RX_PComp_Class_Code.zip

One Chip Many Programs
Using as DIP switch like below is common/traditional way to active/deactivate different programs or features on your program. Flipping one of these switches ON or OFF can give Power or Ground to a PIN of a microchip. If you use the Boolean Logic on the Arduino, you can then “active/deactivate different programs or features” in your greater program. DIP switches like these are usually not “user facing”, they are typically for an engineer or technican to use, like in a TV cable box to turn on/off premium channels, for example. But sometimes these switches are user facing in a number of off-the-shelf thermostats for example.
When you put “jumper wires” in your last project, they were to emulate this types of circuit switches. You find them useful as your projects get more complex and may have different types of users that your one device needs to work for.

analogRead & analogWrite Assignment for next class
Do:
1) http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/AnalogReadSerial [POT]
2) Photocells – Adafruit Learning System
3) 2.16 from Arduino CookBook (on Switch Statements)
Read:
1) analogRead http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogRead
2) http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogWrite
Assignment:
Build a Sound Performance Toy. The Interface should be one POT, one LED, one Speaker, and one Photocell. There should be four case statements, and two jumper wire. If jumper wire are in or out, there are 4 possible states.
*1st State controls LED dim level with the POT, and Speaker with the the PhotoCell
*2nd State controls LED dim level with Photocell, and Speaker Tone with POT
*3rd State controls LED blink-rate with the POT, Speaker Tone with POT, and Delay Rate (for both) with PhotoCell
*4rd State controls LED blink-rate with the PhotoCell, and Speaker tone with PhotoCell.
Use with Case Statements to switch between 4 states.
Upload Code and Video of Circuit before Class.

Simon Say Style Game, Midterm, Deliverables
Hi All,
As discussed in class. We are finishing off the Simon Says project this week.
For the next class you will present your “Simon Says Style Project”, along with a video of it.The video should be 60-120 seconds long. It should show 3 users using/playing with the project. It should show interaction with your project start to finish. We should see how the interaction starts, how interaction is sustained, and how it ends. The video should have two tiles, one with the projects name, one with your name. Feel free to add more if you like, but those are the most basic requirements. Try to have fun with the video and capture the essences of you work.
Note: The video should be on the blog before class starts. If you are new to video, it’s acceptable to shoot this with a simple camera. Use as much natural light as possible with low-end camera to get good results on video. Many of you know Final Cut already, so if you do, that may be the fastest tool for you. But it’s totally fine to edit with YouTube’s editing tools. YouTube does allow for title effects. Post your final video on Vimeo or YouTube and Embed into your post.
Send any thoughts or questions you may have before then.

Simon Says, Starter Code and Assignment
Here is some Code to get you started with Simon Says. There are 3 steps in the code. It helps setup the Simon “brain” part of the game.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5C5Fh-HOLYFVndRRHdkOW1CdHc
For the assignment, program Arduino to listen for user imput and compare it to what Simon says. The out come should trigger a lose sound, or tell Simon to say something next. Work in groups of 2.
