Initially I wanted to create a tree sculpture that tore itself apart when someone would touch it. To do this, I began by connecting the servo with the FSR sensor.  Then the hard part came when deciding how to make the tree. It was pretty messy at first. But then I sculpted the tree around…

prototyping using triangle on the servo and ultrasonic sensor styrofoam frame with servo  testing  spray painted the inside of the styrofoam.*If thinking about spray painting anything styrofoam don’t do it. There is a nasty chemical reaction. Finished 

Touch the box to see if you’re alive or not. This project uses an 8×8 led matrix with a shift register and a temperature sensor.  The display has two responses: a cascading matrix and also a text-based message.

First-click triggered LED (for multiple purposes) When I started doing this project, I wanted to incorporate some randomness into it. I am very used to coding and I find it the most fascinating when something is non-deterministic. This means that it is either random or has unpredictable events, like when two players face each other….

Julie Zamudio Comfort Zone: This is more of a visual work.  Ultrasonic sensor that is working almost like an alert system. A “safe” distance away from the box would result a blue LED to be on. Once you move into closer proximity of the ultrasonic sensor, then a red LED would be blinking. I wanted…

What I used: The inputs I used were photoresistors and for the output I used a servo motor. I tried making it portable but the 9V battery doesn’t work with the servo motor so I just plugged it into my computer. What it does: When one photoresistor reads a higher value, the flower will point…

Essentially I would have liked for the button to turn on the buzzer and servo which would work to distract but also add to the CNN news piece on the war on Syria. The servo would be “attached” but in this case on top of a tissue box, to serve the purpose of a web…

Summer Shaw-Interactive Project For my project, I used the pulse sensor to monitor heart rate.  Based on the speed of the heartbeat, the lights, alternating from blue to red and back to blue, will pulse in a sequence. I put this into a jacket.  The wires for the pulse sensor goes through the sleeve.  The…

Lion-Dog – Light-up decorative ornament For this project, I am using a porcelain container in the shape of a lion-dog. The head of the lion-dog is the top/lid to the container (body). My idea involves placing LED lights into the head of the lion-dog (which is hollow), connected to a mini breadboard and the Arduino….
