Physical Computing Module
Mentor：Keith Lam


Outline：
First Day (30, June Monday)
<<Basic>>
Topic Content Main Material
Look Me! This is Microcontroller! introducing microcontroller  
Hi, micro, you can do this!

What can we do with microcontroller
simple introduction on physical computing (video demostrate)

 
Arduino, your day to play with

introducing Arduino
-serial monitor
-basic arduino coding
-port and board

 

Digital Player:
First Play with Arduino: stupid LED light on

Digital pin writing LED x 4
First Play with Arduino 2: stupid LED light on with switch

Digital pin reading and writing

  • try with tilt and magnet switch
  • make pattern on Led?
push switch x 2
Instant Try: Turn on the home equipment! Fast try on the pre-made Relay box Relay Box (provided by Keith)


Second Day (1, July Tuesday)
<<Fun with Computer and Sensor>>
Topic Content Main Material
Flashing Pattern: Computer-controlled Lighting Show (Serial Communication 1)

Pure Data as interface to control a lighting show: Introduction to serial Communication 1

(live demostrate, video demostrate)

LED x 16
Relay Box (provided by Keith)
Light x 9(small light in IKEA)or *

Light tube x 9 *

Analog Player:

Spinning up: Reading data from Knob 		Basic concept on analog in/out: play with potentiometer (what is potentiometer) potentiometer
Spinning the LED Dimming light: introduction on PWM LED x 4
More Analog? Flex it! Make a toy with Flex Resistor/Sensor to dim the light Flex force / Flex resistor
Move Around: Servo Motor spinning PWM part 2: move the Servo with Flex/Potentiomeer Servo Motor
Become a Superman! Controlling PC Fan Make a suit of superman (video demostrate)

PC Fan x 4 (3.3V ~ 5V)

Garbage (very light weight cloth)

(may be continue on Become a Superman)

Simple Mechanic: Scratch it! Part 2

Introduction to Serial Communication 2

Scratch Disc with Servo Motor:

Play with Pure Data

Servo Motor

Garbage (disc/dish)
Lunch    
Make da Music instrument! Thermin

Introduction to Complex Sensor 1: Ulrasonic sensor

Make the thermin with sensor with Pure Data 		Ultrasonic Sensor
Make a Music Instrument! Thermin, without Computer Make the thermin with sensor with Buzzer: thermin become a handheld and wireless

DC power adaptor
Ultrasonic sensor
Buzzer

Reverse Try: Buzzer Reverse usage Use buzzer as input buzzer / pizeo piece
Free Creation Time 30 mins Free Creation time  
Make your own wii light sraber of Star War

Introduction to complex sensor 2: ADXL 330

Make a light sraber with Pure data(with LED lights?)

ADXL 330
Let make things move! Play with DC Motor

Basic try on DC motor

Controlling DC motor with H-Bridge(video demostrate)

DC motor
H-bridge (L293)
TIP120
1N4004
10uF capacitor
push switch
potentiometer

In & Out; Up and Down Simple Mechanic Building with H-bridge Pulley set (self made with wheel or buy Pulley Set) *
Turn your home up! High load playing
(***Depends on time)		 Usage of Relay: make you self relay box

Relay (5V, can control up to 150W to 250W) *
Electronic socket box *
Driller (to drill a small hole on socket box)
Connector (male and female) *

Free Creation Time    


Third Day (2, July Wednesday)
