...INPUT DEVICES CONTINUED

After some more work, I got my construction kit pieces to sync with a CAD model in Processing!

When I propogate the sensor value to multiple repeated pieces, I get some interesting results:

ASSIGNMENT

This week's assignment was to create a board that controlled an output device. Since I want my construction pieces to be passive, I wasn't sure how to apply the assignment to my final project.  Nevertheless, I decided to hook my pieces up to a speaker to make some music.

Playing up the scale

Some 8-bit fun

I then wanted to propogate this design to multiple pieces so that each piece would represent a note, and the song would loop when the pieces were arranged in a close loop. I ran into problems with my fabduino board, though, and kept getting an "not in sync" error in Arduino.  As a result, I decided to mill out another Fabduino board, but the header pulled off in the process:

NOOOO....

CHARLIEPLEXING BOARD

I was intrigued by the Charlieplexing board and thought it would be fun to program the lights to be different faces.

Unfortunately, I spent a few hours debugging, and my reset and power pins are shorted somehow.  Will try to fix it later...
