Prototyping: Fantasy Device

image of the prototype we created in class Sammy and I created.

Fantasy Device: I created a wearable flower communicator. It was created out of found objects around the ITP floor. I worked wtih Sammy Nelson on these prototypes. The flower communicator measures your stress levels as a reminder to take care of yourself. The communicator aspect of it would tell the rest of your "garden" or home pod of people you are connected with how your plant is. There plants are real plants that grow stronger when you take care of it.

Electronics Lab 1

Electronics Lab: Components

The components that I gathered.

Electronics Lab: Setting Up a Breadboard

Here I had to poke deeper holes into the breadboard since my components would not go in all the way. The nano needed to be prepped.

Electronics Lab: Electronics

Using a multimeter, it was difficult to get the multimeter to work since these did not work often.

There was a problem finding power supplies to fit so I had to screw wires into an adapator.

Electronics Lab: Switches

Arduino Lab 2

Digital Input and Output

Here I ended up using a toggle switch since I was not having luck with the push toggle.

Analogy Input

Here I ran the code, but since I had braided wire it did not work.
