Week 12 — Interface and Application Programming

Assignment

Write an application that interfaces with an input and/or output device that you made.

Interface and Application Programming

This week focused on building interfaces and applications that connect with input and output devices. I explored different tools and approaches for creating user interfaces that communicate with embedded systems.

Interface Concepts

Interfaces serve as bridges between users and embedded systems, allowing interaction through visual, audio, or haptic feedback. The goal is to create intuitive ways to control devices and visualize data.

Tool Exploration

I explored various tools for interface development, including web-based interfaces, Processing, and other graphical programming environments.

Implementation

The implementation involved creating an interface that communicates with my embedded devices, processing input data, and displaying outputs in a meaningful way.

Web Interface Development

I developed a web-based interface using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a user-friendly way to interact with and monitor my devices remotely.

Serial Communication in Interfaces

Serial communication was crucial for connecting the interface application with the embedded device, enabling real-time data exchange and control.

Results & Reflections

This work connects directly to my final project, where I need interfaces to control and monitor the wearable electronic jewelry system. The skills learned here are essential for creating user interactions with embedded systems.
