I received my ultrasonic sensor on saturday, after which i encountered a few problems. First, the sensor won’t fit into the breadboard (it kept popping out). And because i don’t have any female to male jumper wires, i have to make it myself, which means another trip to Jalan Pasar.
Using the components that i bought (wires, end connectors and crimping tool) i made a 5 jumper wires using this website as a guide.
After connecting the the sensor to the arduino, i tried running the example sketch taken from this site. It worked as you can see from the video below.
I managed to control a processing sketch using the potentiometer (see video below), but unfortunately it doesn’t work when using the ultrasonic sensor. Have to troubleshoot it as soon as possible.
For the digital content, since i am new to Processing (and coding art in general) i’ve done a few small programs that tackles different concepts of programming. It’s really simple (in terms of look and feel) but it is going to be the basis of the finalized application. You can download the source code here.
