It’s alive!

March 22, 2010

After 8 weeks of struggle, it finally works! Sensor working smoothly using a new serial patch from the vvvv’s forum + the use of damper and wave shaper object.

Dual potentiometer test. Managed to separate the incoming signals using the regexpr object.

Dual potentiometer test.

Potentiometer from the starter kit.

10k potentiometer with plastic cap. Me likey.

Getting more complicated. =.=

To do list:

Ultrasonic sensor + potentiometer test.

Case design.

Flowchart.

Projection test.

Critique 2.

New sensor. Identical to Parallax Ping sensor, but much cheaper :D

Close up. 3 pins makes it much easier to set up.

Testing the sensor.

I got a new sensor from Nixie Electronics, ran the example code and it works! Much easier to set up too, with only 3 pins instead of nine with the previous sensor.

Displaying values from the sensor.

Serial patch.

A serial patch that i did based on the tutorial from vvvv’s website. The example patch from the tutorial didn’t work, so i had to create one from scratch. Unfortunately, it’s not working as smooth as i expected. There’s sudden jumps in values in vvvv, although in arduino the values are just fine.

Videos of the 3 patches that i did using vvvv, showing the animation and the parameters that the users can change.

Projection Test 1.

Projection Test 2.

Projection Test 3.

Experimented with projections during the holidays. Projecting the visuals onto walls and tables yields very interesting results.

Vvvv instead of processing. 3 basic patches for now.
