[homework] dc motor / haptic feedback stick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97kLW-T0Dx8
I was experimenting with connecting the haptic feedback dc motor to different objects. I noticed this interesting rotation effect when attaching it to the bottom of a basswood stick where the stick would predictably rotate in one direction.

Servo Motor
Story
There is a boy lives in the small box. He is too shy to be face to face to anybody. He use the periscope to observe outside.

I made a penguin toy which detects distance.
A distance sensor forms the penguin’s eyes and if something got closer, it started to vibrate and blink.
Inside the penguin, it has a led and a vibrator.
Because of the vibrator, penguin moves a little bit which is cute.
However, I tried to put an Arduino and a battery inside the penguin, but I failed because it was too heavy to move the penguin by the vibrator. Also, even I put out the Arduino and the battery from the penguin, it is still move more slightly than I expected.Check out the Video!

PComp Final Project, 2013
Create a “design object” or “play object” that ignites a user’s sense of wonderment.
Step 1: Ideation [Due Nov 29, no class]
Read: What do Prototypes Prototype?
Make 3 role prototypes. Use as photo-mock-ups with text, or with a line drawing with text. Emphasis the Role this design object has in a user’s life or in the objects environment. Show the Start, Middle, and End of the Objects “actions”.
Make 2 look and feel prototypes to explore the physical nature of the concepts you sketched. The look and feel prototype should show the size, color, weight, and ideal form factor of your final project.
Step 2: Prototyping [Due Dec 6th]
Pick one of your role prototypes from step 1. Make 2-3 “implementation prototype” and a more refined look and feel prototype.
Your implementation prototypes to should isolate and demonstration a critical technical functions for your final project.
Step 3: Integrated Prototype, Playtest, and Final Presentation [Due Dec 13th]
Combine your implementation prototype and look and feel prototype, into one working design object. Present in class. 3 different end-users will interact with it, without any guidance from you. Take notes on what the interaction is, with particular emphasis on “what happened as you expected” and “what happened that you did not expect”.
Step 4: Documentation [Due Dec 21st]
Based on observations from play-testing and feedback at final critics, create a 30-60 second 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.

Wildcat Thaumatrope
Idea
Make a thaumatrope using Arduino and a DC motor.Prototypes
a) I began by checking if the speed rotation was enough to make it possible:b) Then I tested a 3-faced version. But it didn’t work.
c) I decided to test one that would animate the image, instead of just mixing it. It didn’t work out as I planned, though:
d) So I stick to the idea of mixing two images. I draw this cat in an iPad, transfer it to paper and then to the final boards.

Physical Display for Weather Data
Idea
A physical display for weather data.
How it works
The push buttons send a number from 0 to 3 to a Node.js application. The app connects to the Weather Underground API, requesting data from one of the four different cities — depending on the button pressed.
The data is sent to an html page and also back to arduino. The temperature is then mapped to an angle, which is assigned to the servo motor.
The scale has a very short range on purpose. The intention was to highlight the difference between the Brazilian cities and New York.

Bear Bear – My Simon Says Game
I finally changed my idea into a diy game. Still using conductive thread, the bear will explore the world, the sky, the jungle and the the pool:)

Control Servo with parseInt Command [Code Correction]
// Servo Control ParseInt
#include <Servo.h>
Servo servo1; // declare a servo control object
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
servo1.attach(9);
}
void loop(){
static int position =0;
if(Serial.available()){
position = Serial.parseInt();
Serial.print(“position is:”);
Serial.println(position);
Serial.flush() ;
}
servo1.write(position);
