Hello, How May I Help You?
Do you often have guests over and wonder what they’re doing when you’re not looking? Perhaps, they’re getting too comfortable and have stopped asking before they open your drawers in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. to get what they need?
Hello, How May I Help You? is an adorable and friendly solution for such people like you. Simply place the doll into a drawer of your choice, and turn on the switch before guests arrive. If they snoop into your drawer, the doll will "greet" them with a message when it opens.

Compy: A peek inside
Finally, Compy is up and working! Here are some photos of his guts, and his code is below!
Compy’s front
I added googly eyes and a pipe cleaner bow-tie to give him a little craft charm.Compy’s Back
His battery pack is attached on the back.Compy with his Battery Pack removed
The battery pack is attached with velcro. The chip clip which holds Compy onto a laptop is hot glued.Compy’s Guts
I used an Arduino Mini, and had to put that in a little acrylic box from the Container Store separate from another acrylic box containing the speaker and the IR sensor.

PING. What will it say about you?
PING is a smart trash/recycling bin that tracks your trash activity and reports it online. His aim is to help you develop better recycling habits by collaborating with others.
PING is part of a larger concept that asks the question: "If objects had a voice, what would they say about us and how would we respond?" PING’s ‘voice’ is able to tell users about their trash habits and connects them with other PING users online to allow opportunity for collaboration toward a more sustainable world. PING does this by tracking each time you throw an item in either its waste or recycling compartment and reports this activity online as well as communicating directly with the users through its own illuminating lights. Future iterations of PING will also include a way for the bin to measure weight of the trash, how often the bin gets filled up, and will be able to remind users of trash day so they’ll remember to put the trash out. All this data collected will connect to much larger ideas online. For instance, knowing how much paper people recycle can help us calculate how many trees each individual is saving, etc. – allowing each person to feel a bit of accountability and reward for their recycling efforts and help them know that they do in fact play an important part.

Lets get it on Lamp. (bringin the heat…all night long!)
So I got the code and circuitry to all work correctly for my "Let’s Get It On" Lamp. I am so excited to get it working on the reals.
Yet, i’m still havin some issues with the pants circuitry. Sometimes the fly signal works, others it doesn’t.
*Side note: there pants have enough batteries in them to melt through the crotch. This concerns me a bit and it could probably be wired in a more optimal way, with less batteries, but I need a break from this. FYI: Not for actual wearing!
Here’s some vid and pics of my progress. 🙂

antisocial cat_prototype 006 code iteration
So, yeah, I figured out what the problems were and finally made the servo work as the way I want! Hooray!
When the toy detects me (using sensor), it would turn its head and stay at that position until it detects me again and turns its head.http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2414067&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1

status=1;
}else{
status=0;
}//myservo.write(getSensor());
//Serial.println(getSensor());
//delay(15);Servo::refresh();
}—————————————————————————–
I defined a function myRefresh() to make sure the servo would be refreshed every 20ms.
Then I added 3 moving functions with different angles.
The tricky part was that how to make servo stop and turn to reverse direction when the sensor detects someone again. By using 2 variables counter and status, I made servo turn to position 180 when the counter is even and turn to position 0 when it is odd.In this week, I’ll try to put the prototype that I have so far into the body of my plush prototype.
The focus of the testing this week will be:
– redesign the character for prototyping (make it big enough to put all my electronics)
– building/ sewing the plush toy
– make the toy’s head move! Think about materials, the skeleton, connections… etc. -

Birdie/Qwail work in progress…
I’ve scrapped the Winbond, which is both good and bad. The Winbond would have been great for making bird sounds, but the Arduino Mini is so much more compact and easy to work with. It makes sound too, but the computery noises it makes are not very bird-like. In fact, they’re just downright annoying.
I’m using the Play Melody code from an Arduino tutorial to get started. I had to add a couple of extra octaves (by halving the frequency of each tone for each octave), and now I’m working on getting the melody to play at the appropriate time.
Right now my code will play a little ditty after 15 seconds if someone is not in front of the IR sensor. I need more parameters, but it’s not bad for a proof of concept. Consider is an implementation prototype.
My code is after the jump, by the way
Some photos:
The Whole Mess
Here is my arudino mini, hooked up to the arduino as a usb connector. Also featured within the mess of wires is an IR sensor, a speaker (bigger than the one I’ll end up using, actually), and some fine LEDS to help me figure out what’s going on when). The Red LED comes on when the IR is on and reading something is close, and Yellow LED comes on when the IR is reading that nothing is in front of it anymore.
A Close Up
This is just a close up shot of the Arduino Mini, connected to things. I’ll be taking it off of the bread board as soon as I’m happy with my code. Until then, it stays, which unfortunately is holding me back from making Birdie look and feel prototypes.
A video is coming soon!!

Catertainer Circuit + Code
The code finally works!
The Catertainer has 10 taunts, and every minute, if it isn’t played with, it will say one of the taunts.
Here is an example of one of the taunts.

Arduino Trick: Treating Digital like Analog
In response to Katrina’s great tip about the multiplexer I thought I would pass this little trick on as well.
With only a few simple lines of code you too can use your digital inputs to read analog data. Below is the function. Just copy and paste the code before your void loop(), then call it with digiAnalog(pin). It’s pretty easy. Continue reading to see the code:

Making some progress???
So here’s what I’ve got going so far…it doesn’t look like much right now, but it will make a huge difference once I actually have it all set up in the real trash bin I intend to use. Right now I’m just trying to get everything to work.
I’ve go the IR sensors detecting which bin (recycling or waste) was used, and the Winbond chip changes tracks and plays back the appropriate sound depending which side was just used. I’m having a bit of a problem with the Windbond chip, though. When it needs to change tracks it won’t play back the sound after it has moved forward. It’ll only play the sound the next time that side of the bin is used. I can’t figure out how to fix it in my code, but I don’t think it’s a huge problem…just strange. My code is posted at the end of this blog post.
I also have the Arduino counting how many times each side has been used. A green or yellow LED will light up when one side is used more than the other (green = you’ve recycled more, yellow = you’ve wasted more).
Alos, I assembled my XBee transceivers. It took FOREVER to solder everything – I even got injured in the process (one of the pins got shoved under my fingernail…awesome.). I haven’t set them up to work yet…but that’s going to happen in the next day or two. For now, all data from the bin can be seen through the serial reader in Arduino. I’ve posted a screenshot of it below.
Lastly, I started playing with some big FSR’s to use as a rough scale/weight measurement for now. Next task for me is to figure how I’m going to normalize their numbers in my code…I have no clue how I’m going to do that…
Here’s some pics:
The inside of my ‘bin’…not pretty, but semi-functional at least!
Had to show off my awesome soldering job…male and female header pins all in a row, just so I can mount a silly XBee on it.
Screen shot of Arduino serial reader showing my bin data…with some lovely notes included in red.http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2403729&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1
PING Documentation from Katrina Bekessy on Vimeo.Current problems I’m having:
-getting my Windbond chip to change tracks and play back the sound right after
-normalizing my FSR inputs to numbers that actually mean something
-keeping the stupid IR sensors consistent. Everytime I turn them on they start with different readings than beforeNext things I need to do:
-include FSR’s and photoresistor (for lid of bin) with rest of my circuit using a multiplexer
-get XBee’s to send bin data to computer wirelessly
-build working circuit into actual trashbin
-refine code to make readings more accurateAm in way over my head? Yes, yes I am…

antisocial cat_ servo prototype
Prototype 005
Materials: PIC16F88, breadboard, servo, pot
Notes:
– The servo could keep turning left and right, but I couldn’t control its speed and directions.
– I found that Arduino has a servo library that is easy to use for controlling servos. So I decided to switch to Arduino board.http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2297781&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1
servo test from maze on Vimeo.Prototype 006
Materials: Arduino, servo, breadboard, IR sensor
Notes:
– In the very beginning, the range of IR sensor was too small. Thus the servo only moved when I almost touched the sensor. Here I scaled the value of IR sensor from 0-1023 to 0-179.
– The servo had a problem of drawing too much current.
– So I did iteration by separating power supply for the servo, but joined the grounds of the two power supplies. I also added decoupling capacitors to stabilize my voltage regulator.

– I tried to pause the servo after every time it turns by expanding the delay time of myservo.write(). However, its movement became unpredictable. Then I tried moveFoward() and moveBackward() above, but they didn’t work well either.
– Another problem I have is the click sound of servo. I was wondering if extreme turning angles like 179 or 180 caused those noise.-

Your Servo is probably fine. The USB Over Current notice means that there is a short somewhere in your circuit.

07 IR sensor + Recorder
I set three functions for different range of distance as fallowing:
1.about 50-80cm: Play
2.about 15-50cm: Play and fwd
3.about under 15cm: Play and change volumeHere’s the video where I use three leds to test if the code works first.

LED + IR from Hsiang Ju Hung on Vimeo.The left led is Play, the middle one is Fwd, and the right one is Vol.
So, it works fine with pin high and low/led on and off.
And here is the code.Download ir_recorder.rtfThen I put the connectors to the recorder.
Here is what happen on level 1 and 2.http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2156723&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1
Level First to Second from Hsiang Ju Hung on Vimeo.Level 3, which will keep changing volume on the same sound file if you stay longer.
