Intro to Physical Computing Final

Date December 6, 2007

For our final we went through a slew of designs, starting with the blocks idea from HeeJin, Matt and Jose’s midterm & moving in a direction utilizing RFID, then that idea became a large circular center piece with a built-in display for visuals surrounded by 8 pods that would detect pieces via RFID & control [...]

PComp Final Interface Testing

Date November 9, 2007

I tossed together some parts to test ideas on how to do our physical sequencer… step 1 — test: – magnetic-based phase sensing for rotation – use of acrylic pieces lit from below – some crappy SMD 3-color LED’s (this part failed IMHO) Results: with the magnets I have, I don’t feel the rotational sensors [...]

Intro to Physical Computing: Response to Seventh Reading Assignment (Physical Computing Ch. 12)

Date October 22, 2007

I thought this was a good read; I’ve played with a number of the communications methods & protocols in the past, but it was interesting to read a decent collection all together like this. It was nice to see GPS given such a prominent role in the chapter. I’d like to see more examples of [...]
