PComp, Wk 14: Semaphore Jacket – First Complete Prototype!
Now that I got one of my flag circuits to work, I went to work on the code. I used some of Adafruit’s StrandTest code and the neopixel library and the digital switch. I struggled with the code and got … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket – Progress, Pt. 3
ok before I get started I’ve been watching the “Great British Bake Off” as I work on my soft circuits and JUST as I was typing the title of this post I hear the word “semaphore” and I’m like, am … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket: – Progress, Pt. 2
After I got my components working, I started planning out how the LEDs would be arranged on the sleeves. I needed enough to get the idea across, but not too many. I laid out a couple and sketched out a … Continue reading
PComp, Week 13: Semaphore Jacket – Progress, Pt. 1
In the first part of the process, I started with basic breadboard components and circuitry that mimic my design then step-by-step swapped out components to those that I’d use in the prototype. ITERATION 1: I started off with doing the … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket – Design
Below are some of the sketches I’ve done of the Semaphore Jacket, including object/circuit design and sketches of the user experience. OBJECT DESIGN: Front of the jacket – with LED sleeve panels and snap switch. Silicone wire will travel from the … Continue reading
PComp, Week 12 – Final: Semaphore Jacket
I want to make a rain jacket that has LED semaphore flags sewn onto the sleeves. I’ve been thinking a lot about the refugee crisis, and the recent email to the ITP4SC got me thinking about how we can design … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 7: Midterm
This post is essentially a reconstruction of the notes that I took throughout the development process of our midterm, with some documentation photos/videos thrown in. Our initial idea was to design an experience that used tactile materials, thinking about how … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 6: Application
I couldn’t find a sketch from ICM that I liked that I felt like I could use with an analog input. Instead, I looked at the mapping code and modified it so that instead of drawing a graph, I’d draw … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 6: Serial Input Labs
One thing I really appreciated about doing these labs was how they illuminated small bits of code that we’ve been using since the beginning, but honestly I had no idea what exactly it all meant (re: 9600 bauds, especially). Now … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 4.5: Synthesis Lab
Almost forgot! The Synthesis Lab! On the whole, I enjoyed the synthesis lab last Friday. I liked the fun-spirited nature of what had previously seemed a quite-daunting task: connecting our arduinos to communciate with p5.js. In PComp last Thursday, Benedetta … Continue reading
