This will show the progress of our project, from start to finish. See my previous entry for the original concept of our project.
Here are the materials we began building our project with.
You can see we have our Arduino Uno, a motor, resistors, batteries and a battery pack, wires, a USB cable to connect the Arduino to a laptop, and of course, a laptop.
Once we gathered all our materials, we set out to begin coding in Processing and Pure Data to get the motor to respond correctly to sound input from a song.
More coding and testing.
The motor finally works! Below is the motor seated inside the drawing attachment built from Bionicle pieces.
Then we have to glue the motor to the apparatus that moves the drawing utensil.
The project is all set up!
Below is a video of the project in action when we shared it in class. It doesn’t quite perform as strongly as intended, but it would do much better if some parts were tweaked and strengthened.
