So a few days before everything had to be done, I realized that I cannot make my localhost forwarded to since I don't have access to the Bakker Bart router settings. Which means that I am the only person which will be able to see the pictures. I don't like this. The other option was... Continue Reading →
Since I decided to rewrite my code, I still could salvage parts of the scanning directory and db connection/query codes and reuse them. I managed to get the file paths printed quite quickly. However they were missing all of the / symbols. I talked to several teachers, but didn't get a solution immediately. Douwe managed... Continue Reading →
After managing to do all the functions in separate code, I decided it was time to smash it all together into one working code. Which went surprisingly well. The following days I spent with a lot of teachers going over and optimizing my code. I also realized that it was easier moving the files from... Continue Reading →
So after working on the previous idea for some time, I presented to my group a very simple prototype. However there was a misunderstanding somewhere along the way. I thought, the visitors would take pictures with their smartphones and upload them themselves. What the actual idea is that we would take the pictures and then... Continue Reading →
During sprint 3 I had some moments of mild depression and lack of motivation, so I didn't manage to do that much for some time. However, in the end I managed to turn myself around and delved into fulfilling the database aspect of our project. This also meant I left the sensor programming mostly to... Continue Reading →
We started looking at maybe connecting to the arduino via python serial, but I'm still not quite sure in what direction the code will be heading. Me and Vasil also started making a short financial breakdown of all the items we would need. https://www.vanallesenmeer.nl/Sensor-Afstandsmeter-Ultrasoon-HC-SR04 https://www.vanallesenmeer.nl/16-Keys-Capacitive-touch-TTP229-I2C-module https://www.vanallesenmeer.nl/BUIGBARE-LEDSTRIP-2835-COOLWHITE-6000K-60LEDS/MTR-ROL-%C3%80-5-METER https://www.vanallesenmeer.nl/Bare-Conductive-Electric-Paint-50ml Next we also managed to integrate 2...

I haven't been writing posts lately, as I've been focusing on other things and I didn't feel like making them, but here I am. On Monday we changed our concept direction a little bit, now we want to create a music sampler connected to the stages and music of the music in de straten. For... Continue Reading →
On Monday I made my first experimentation regarding conductive paint. I got some pencils from classmates and started smashing them up. I crushed them with metal vise press and then extracted the graphite from them. Next I put all the graphite sticks in some paper and hammered it into powder. I combined the graphite with...

Today we came to school with the following tasks: Establish serial communication with RPi and Arduino Use 2 ultrasonic sensors Test conductive paint I came to school and started up my Raspberry Pi, which I setup over the weekend, and started browsing for examples online. https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/ese205/core/index.php?title=Serial_Communication_between_Raspberry_Pi_%26_Arduino This was the simplest and cleanest example I found....

Last night, we worked a bit more when we got home and tried on getting the ultrasonic and capacitive sensor to be read at the same time in arduino. We also wanted to get the values printed in processing, but we were getting an OutOfBounds array error and we decided to call it a night.... Continue Reading →
