Work for NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program
In this lab I took a closer look at asynchronous serial communication between an Arduino and a computer. This type of digital communication makes use of serial transmit (TX) and receive (RX) over IO ports to communicate at a set data rate. The lab demonstrated that there are a number of ways for an Arduino […]
Coming up with an idea for a bot is easy! Choosing one to make is hard. I pitched a dozen concepts to friends and family before setting on one that felt right. After much hemming and hawing hearing my husband mention his co-worker Adream triggered it. A dream! That was it! I have always had […]
This week Mai and I made some great progress on our musical Dodecahedron. Feeling pretty confident about the circuit on the breadboard we moved to a more compact arrangement on a soldered board. We met in person on the floor at ITP to make a second Dodeca so we could both have one at home […]
This week for Programming A to Z I made an attempt at creating a word counting algorithm. Coming off of the first round of (Presidential)? debates I was feeling inspired to do some word counting to determine what words were most commonly said by each of the speakers. The transcript I was able to locate […]
Over the last week I had the pleasure of getting to know my classmate Mai. From our initial video call we brainstormed ideas for our first project in Physical Computing. Mai expressed interest in creating something musical but expressed concern that she didn’t have much of a background in music theory. I happened to have […]
For this lab I set out to control a servo motor based on input from a force sensing resistor. Going into this I had some concerns about the ability of the Nano 33 IoT to supply the necessary voltage and current to power the FS5106B servo motor I had access to. Initially powering the servo […]
For this lab I created a few different circuits to generate tones using the Arduino Nano 33 IoT. The first circuit below made use of two touch sensors connected to an analog input, with one sensor connected LOW to ground and the other HIGH to 3.3 volts. Next I tested reading values with the following […]
As citizens, we all have an obligation to intervene and become involved – it’s the citizen who changes things. José Saramago This week for Programming A to Z I was asked to make use of “something external” in a browser-based text experiment. Having already explored the Datamuse API with a time rhyming site I turned […]
This week I learned something new about the search field in text editing applications. Like using the search or find function to navigate big chunks of text regular expressions allow you to search through a document but also provide a number of modifiers for search functions. I started my exploration of this new topic by […]
In this lab I created two different circuits making use of analog inputs on the Arduino. Analog inputs are able to read a range of voltage inputs from zero to the voltage of the board which in the case of the Arduino Nano 33 IoT is 3.3 volts. The goal of my first circuit was […]
