Week 10

Networking and Communications

This week, I continued to work on my shoe design and the color sensor. I was able to try to work on some communication and networking methods through the idea of extending the possibilities of the interactive shoe by adding interaction between them or between the wearer. I worked on the echo code, and worked on LED + button (which I needed to re-mill and re-fabricate from my previous experiment). at the end, I made two new boards that I wanted to communicate between them the color change for my shoe design. I had some trouble with figuring out the code and the system, and Demircan helped me to solve some of the connection problems between to comunicate between my board and the code. At the end it was just a manner of finding the right pins to the right output. I also tried to communicate with my RGB sensor from Output device with the echo code.

At the end, I worked on the communication between the number of blinking of LED which connected to the number written by me in the comuter. The idea is to extend it in the final projecct to be able to control the color and the blinking between the shoe, so this is a small step to achive that. Here some of the video examples:
