Sound Reactive Back-Lit Canvas

For my project, I made a sound reactive back-lit canvas. The lights behind the canvas turn on based on the loudness level of the sound the sound sensor on the Circuit Playground Express picks up. Materials Needed: Your painted canvas A poster board (cardboard or any thin, sturdy material could work too) Soldering iron +…

Questions for final project

How many LEDs can be connected to one I/O pin? How can you make a for loop keep iterating for a specific amount of time?

Slow Design Principles

The Augmented Reality Sandbox, created by researchers at UC Davis W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences, is an interactive art installation that allows the user to change the topography of the sandbox. By moving the sand around, the user can create moutains, valleys,  and riverbeds. This work fits the slow design principles…

Interactive Assignment

For my project, I’ll be creating an interactive canvas painting of a forest. I’ll be using neopixels and LEDs, as well as a PIR motion sensor and the sound sensor on the Circuit Playground Express. The neopixels will be activated by the motion sensor and will light up in a dripping pattern to indicate snow….

Drawing Machine – Azka Mazher

For my drawing machine, I started off with making a staircase of squares using a for loop, each square being exactly 25 pixels down and 25 to the right of the previous one. I then proceeded to add triangles on either side of the line of squares and made cornered borders made of two lines…

Processing Assignment 1

I have three shapes: the consecutive squares, the two triangles, and the lines forming a broken up border. The stroke weight of the squares is 2, of the triangles is 3, and the lines are set to 6. When the user clicks the mouse around the frame, tiny colorful cirlces appear where he/she pressed. The…
