Creative Explorations in Screen-Based and Physical Computing

DGMD S-15, Summer 2016

Arduino's A0 as generateInput

2 sensors

2 sensors 1 pin

Arduino's A0 as generateInput
  1. Download this gist and start with step 2 of the README to get it set up and running on your computer.
  2. Pair up with someone [if you'd like!] and tackle connecting one of the two sensors we've brought (an LED, a potentiometer, or a switch) to your browser.
  3. Get the reading from that component printing out in your browser's console.
  4. And then hook it up to your own visualization and calibrate it appropriately!
  5. (And if you're interested, try flipping the LED around and using it as an output, i.e. turning it on and off from the web).

Studio Time

In your journal…

  1. What did you accomplish today?
  2. What do you aim to have done by next session?
  3. What can we do to help?

For next session

  1. Let us know if you'd like to meet up about your project! We want to make sure you feel good about where you end up in four weeks 🎉🎉🎉
  2. Post your code to your journal along with your black box diagram and any other notes or materials you used.
  3. Answer the usual questions in your journal:
    1. What did you accomplish today?
    2. What do you aim to have done by next session?
    3. What can we (the teaching team) do to help?
  4. If you get stuck, submit a Code Snippet Request or get in touch on Slack if you have any trouble!
