    Next project…attempt to have more fun. Sort-of achieved. I spent more time conceptualizing, however this proved to be at the exense of my construction time. I’ll have to find a balance…. So, the task was to create a type of “Love-o-meter”…inspired by the sort of device you’d find at a boardwalk or shopping mall…

  • Lab: Breadboards redeux

    Finally got some breadboards and set them up with power regulators and all. Then got to make some simple circuits. Yay electricity!

  • Physical Computing: Digital In/Out

    I’ve worked with the Arduino before, but still enjoy the wonderful moment when an LED blinks to life. I have a lot to learn about building circuits, proper wiring and clean / efficient code structure. A lot of what I do amounts to hacks to get a desired functionality. Of course, this builds complexity which […]
