Vasil and me headed to school today with the following 4 tasks in mind: Establish serial communication between the capacitive sensor and processing Use 2 ultrasonic sensors at the same time Start the design document Research how viable the switch to RPi & Python is I started working on installing raspbian on my RPi and...

Today when I got home I decided to learn more about how the serial connection between arduino and processing works, so that I could just pass on the numbers from arduino to processing and then do all the work in processing. The most helpful online tutorials I found were the following: hooking up and code,... Continue Reading →
For the prototype Vasil and me decided to work in a different direction. Vasil started working with the IR distance sensor, as it's a perfectly good prototype and after a day and a half we managed to come up with a working prototype, that plays a loop once a certain value on the IR sensor...

Along with Vasil, I started thinking about how we are going to sense people around the objects and with what sensors they're going to change the music. Our first idea was to use a IR distance sensor, however the IR sensor has a quite small measuring distance. A PIR was also not feasible as it... Continue Reading →
On the first day back we sat down and I realized we are struggling for a concept idea. I communicated my ideas of music and connecting people to my group mates and they liked these themes. So we decided to definitely stick with music, I brainstormed a lot of music installations with Alexandra and we... Continue Reading →
I unfortunately missed week 1. , because I was taking my vacation back home. I did however participate on a skype brainstorming session and presented what I brainstormed and researched. I wanted to do an installation with music and interactive sensors and I used this link for some inspiration. I really liked the first three examples... Continue Reading →
