WEEK #3

Last week I had to rethink my ideas for the project as it wasn't enough about prototyping an "object". I wanted to connect the breath of a human to something virtual. David recommended me to link the human breath to an object. This object could be a "breathing shape", a mechanical iris for example.
I thought that's a good idea but it's a bit far from my metaphor. Though, I'll try that, that'll introduce me to some new interesting techniques.

As the project evolve, I would like to reconnect with my main theme connecting human sense to machine.

Through this project I'll focus on learning a bit of Arduino, Gear Engineering, Laser Cutting, 3D modelling.



1/ Basic Arduino

The goal is to control the aperture of a mechanical iris using a servo and Arduino.

As I don't have any experience with Arduino, I tried to understand how we mount electronic components on it and how this works. I also tried to understand a code displaying values of a potentiometer.




Then I tried a code controlling a servo through the mouse using also Processing. I tried to modify the code to understand it better.




My final goal was to use Touchdesigner instead of Processing to interact with arduino, but I didn't succeed for the moment.


2/ Gear Engineering
