Week3


In the first lab about tone, I was confused by the figure on the lab reading. I missing the ground, so the reading of the press sensor was not changing by my press, it only changes by itself.



































After I connected with the ground I do have the analog value in my control, but the value I have is always in the range of 0-30. I don't know if it is too small, and also wondering why the umber I have have such a big gap with I don't have the ground before.




The problem I have when I put the speaker with press sensor is that when I have the map number some with the lab, my speaker doesn't response. Then I think about the number I have in AnalogRead is way more smaller than 500, so I changed the range to 20,100. And the speaker works.

I changed some numbers in the map and delay trying to see if what those numbers are doing. I kind find they are changing the frequency, but still don't understand what they exactly are. 




















For the one with play it loud, I also confused by the lab(why is the ground connected with the middle pin?). But I put a different circuit to it and it works 



For the second lab I think it is similar with the speaker one, it is very much like changing the output to the Motor. I did made the motor rotate, but I do wondering what dose servo library  do? when should I use library? and what library have?




For the map, in this one I also wondering what those numbers are. I realized the motor are rotate very randomly at the beginning. I think it is the problem of the press sensor reading have a very unstable reading, so I changed the range in the map to 12,50( thinking before 12 the motor don't rotate) . And it works, bur I still can't make the thing rotate 360 or different direction or faster...  wondering if those umbers can control those status of the motor?

Week 2 Lab

  In this week's lab, I kind met some fundamental problems, so I kind can't achieve any lab successfully. I think it maybe some setting problems with my Arduino. For the first lab Digital input & output with Arduino, I think I do understand the concept that to use different pin to control the power by coding.  I do think my circuit is right, and I also tested my led are working. In the Arduino I verified my cod, everything  went through successfully. But after I upload it it saids programmer is not responding    Then I move to the lab Analog in with an Arduino. First of all I kind son't understand what dose Analog means in this content. Dose it means all the changing  parameters? In my understanding it is more like how to use different sensors working with Arduino. And in this coding I do have some hard time to understand some words. Like the const int and int, what should be const int and what should be int? And is the...

Project 2 Prototypes

 In this project, we are trying to make a Pedal Set that can replace the keyboard's Space / Return / Delete buttons.   To achieve that, we want to use an ultrasonic distance sensor to have the parameter. In our plan, when the pedal touches on the bottom, in the P5, it will type in the key that we planed.   First, we tried the ultrasonic distance sensor on Adriano. To read the distance, it needs the trigger and Echo,  and the distance will be calculated in CM. But I find out when it goes totally close, the number will be around 790.  So we tried to read the number on P.5. And give an if statement to control the action. Also, In the end, it will behave more than one sensor to handle different feedbacks, so it probably will use an array. In the current stage, we only try to have the number in P5, but we do have some problems with that; I think I can have the numbers under the console, but can not use it, probably I don't know how to get rid of " "  ...

WEEK 6

 This week we learned more about the serial. From my understanding, the goal of learning it is to connect Arduino with P5.  I reviewed the slid to read more about how the transaction was down. Lab 2 Serial Input to P5.js I was having a hard time understanding all the functions.  Also, the P5 serial control is unclear to me to control. Also, I have problems understanding the orders of open Arduino, P5 serial control, and P5.  I was correct on every coding part, but my console said it is undefined. The p5 serial control can read the number, and the p5 also has the canvas drawing.  But the undefined keep shows up. So the problem very much happens on the p5 side. And I tried a lot of ways to change some code, it didn't help.  Ends up I changed my browser to chrome, and it works.  Lab3 In lab3, what confused me is which code is actually connecting p5 and Arduino? Are serial read and serial write the same? Are they connected with each other?  In lab 3, ...
