Spirobot Art 150 Final Project 2014 Nestor (Felix) Sotres Description:  Spirobot draws 3 different patterns which are generated randomly. 1st patter is more of a larger square, 2nd pattern is a smaller triangular pattern, 3rd pattern is a completely random series of commands repeated over and over. It can also switch colors while its drawing…

The final project https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy0o84ua06el9lv/Sequence%2001.mpeg The image uploaded to processing to be drawn by the drawing machine. First the Arduino code needs to be used:( can also be found under Examples in Arduino library) /*  * Firmata is a generic protocol for communicating with microcontrollers  * from software on a host computer.

I titled my final project “The Eager Succulents” and its objective is to animate something that is not capable of speaking to crave human attention. The ultrasonic sensor picks up how close the person is making the lights within the plant light up and the sound picks up voice so the plants could “talk” back….

For my final project I am looking to explore the ideas in my interactive piece a bit more. With the helpful feedback of everyone in the critique I have made some changes to my original idea. I will make a grid of lights on a piece of wood so that all that is visible is…

The final project        As an extension to my interactive project, I want to continue developing the drawing machine. To make it more interesting i want to incorporate piezo to add the sounds to the machine. I was thinking that it make sounds while drawing so that it adds on to the idea of…

For the final version of my project, I plan to expand on the scope of my prototype while altering the type of input used. My original plan was to have the garment react to my body by using a heart rate monitor to activate the bristling function of the exact-o blades, but after hearing all…
