PROJECT 1 (2.0!) : LOCK BOX (For 3/26/19)

Image
I expanded upon my original idea to create the LOCK BOX. The goal is for the user to figure out the button path they must take in order to enter the correct password. Then the box opens for a surprise! The trick to this box, however, is that the button paths change after each successful box open. I have coded a total of 16 button paths, where one is chosen randomly after each successful open. The code allows the user to continue playing in a loop, and the trick to the challenge is a good memory. Here is a video of me playing with LOCK BOX: Here are some pictures: Here is the very long code for LOCK BOX: #include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; const int led1 = 8; const int led2 = 9; const int led3 = 10; const int led4 = 11; const int but1 = 6; const int but2 = 2; const int but3 = 3; const int but4 = 4; int randchoice; int butt1 = 0;        int butt2 = 0; int butt3 = 0; int butt4 = 0; int lbutt1 = 0; int lbutt2=0; int lbutt3=0; ...

Tone lab and Servo lab (for 2/21)

Image
Tone lab For this lab, I used photoresistors to control the tone of a buzzer. The buzzer makes a barely audible sound because it needs more than 5v of power to be loud. I only can hook the buzzer up to 5v. Below you will find the code, an image of setup, and a video of me using the photoresistors to control a servo in place of the speaker because you cannot hear the speaker in the video. Code: void setup() {   Serial.begin(9600);       // initialize serial communications } void loop(){   int analogValue = analogRead(A0); // read the analog input   Serial.println(analogValue);      // print it   // get a sensor reading:    int sensorReading = analogRead(A0);    // map the results from the sensor reading's range    // to the desired pitch range:    float frequency = map(sensorReading, 200, 900, 100, 1000);    // change the pitch, play for 10 ms:    tone(8, f...

4/16/19 - Classes w/ Nimesha

Last Thursday, Nimesha introduced us to his work and his values as a designer. He showed us his virtual cocktail and his device to include more sensory information with VR. He told us that the concept holds more value and slowly working to achieve our long term goals holds more value over getting projects done.  While I do not disagree with this, I did not originally have a long term goal in mind for this project anyway. Nimesha suggested that I use my companion robot idea and turn it into a companion that can imitate those who are lost, like pets or grandparents. I don't really...morally agree with this idea? I think death is a thing that shouldn't be tampered with, and bringing dead loved ones back to life with a robot seems a little too intense and crosses some natural boundaries. Today, the 16th, Nimesha didn't have an actual plan for us to go over. He seemed more interested in other students that happened to be in the hackerspace that was working on other projects...
