Work for NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program
This week in The Nature of Code I learned about techniques for simulating forces in P5.js using vectors and principles from physics. In brainstorming for this assignment the indie game LIMBO was a strong inspiration for the look and feel. Expanding on the in class demo of Gravitational Attraction I set out to write a […]
For the first half of the semester in Energy I will be creating two projects, one primary project on the topic of measuring energy and another shorter secondary project exploring kinetic energy. My initial inspiration around the topic of kinetic energy involves measuring time. My two favorite time pieces at home are an old Waltham […]
This week we learned about vectors in P5.js which are useful for calculating position and movement values in 2D and 3D space. As practice I rewrote code from my previous Random Walk assignment to use vectors to store coordinates. I also restructured the code below to make use of a Tangle class to generate objects […]
For this first assignment in the Nature of Code course at ITP I created a P5.js sketch utilizing the noise function to paint on screen. Since the assignment was open ended I did some brainstorming to set on a few constraints. A Google search turned up this example of random walk art that I was […]
In the week following my last update I have made significant of progress on my Smart Tiles block board. Over the weekend I was ready to start milling parts and worked up the courage to use the Othermill Pro available on the floor at ITP. The process of milling with a CNC is new to […]
Over the last week I have made substantial progress on my Smart Tiles project. I did some play testing with friends to solidify thoughts around the interface. I have also continued to slog away in Fusion 360, finishing and placing an order for the PCB with OSHPark, ordering components from DigiKey, and preparing materials and […]
Earlier this year I took an interest in developing an educational toy that builds on traditional wood letter blocks. Seeing my younger family members interacting with screens I noticed a gap between the experience of the tangible toys they were given, which were often monotonous, flashy, and not very responsive, and the educational apps they […]
Over the last two weeks I have had the pleasure of working with my classmate Daniel Johnston on a P5.js project that makes use of sound. We were inspired by the experience of being in the dark, with the idea being to navigate a space based entirely on sound. Collaborating on code has been a […]
In this lab I learned to control the functions of a stepper motor through a motor driver board that handles power functions for the motor and communicates with an Arduino. The motor controller on hand was a A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier from Pololu. The A4988 board pinout and basic wiring diagram here: My setup […]
In this lab I learned to control the functions of a DC motor through a motor driver board that handles power functions for the motor and communicates with an Arduino.
