Assignment 3

It’s still not working, but this is what I have.

I decided to integrate mouse clicking into my assignment 2 ghost chat, and bring the push-button interrupt into the p5js part of the equation, as opposed to leaving it with the arduino. This means that the user should be able to click around on the screen to ask questions. My issue could be that my code is wonky, because I haven’t yet been able to make p5js actually take information from the arduino and print it successfully using my own sketch, or it could be technical:

I thought the problem had solved itself, but it seems that the Beats have spawned more beats, and p5.serialcontrol likes to open that port instead of the usbmodem even after I’ve closed the weird beats port and opened the other one instead. Sometimes it stays with the usb modem for a few minutes, and I can run a few sketches, and sometimes it doesn’t feel the need to do anything I ask, and I wrestle with it for an hour or two.

So here are my sketches:

ghost_chat_p5js 2

and the fritzing:

Virtural “Etch a Sketch”

For this assignment, I used two potentiometers to simulate the “Etch A Sketch” (Wikipedia_”Etch A Sketch”). Using two potentiometer, one controls left and right movement, and the other controls the up and down movement, the browser window is going to serve as a canvas for the “Etch A Sketch” board.

 

  • Parts list:
    • Potentiometer (10K)  x2
    • Adafruit M0 Metro Express
    • Bunch of jumper wires

Assignment Three

Hot/Cold Game with a p5 twist

For this assignment I moved the switch button functionality for state changes to the p5 sketch. Through the web browser you can change the state from start screen to play mode and back again. The Arduino sets the target value and then sends five states back to p5 in order to determine how close the player is to the target. The status of the player, hot/cold/warmer/colder/winner, is then displayed on screen instead of the LED in the previous version.

A3: Serial Port in P5

Assignment 2: LED Color Picker

The code is same as A2 but the debugging code is modified to send RGB data through the serial port, I use this information to change the color of the ellipse and show debug information on the browser.

A3 Code and JS

Reflection: Can use the joystick movement to make an interactive widget.

Assignment 3

Due 23:59, 5 Feb, please post a .zip folder with your p5.js folder, Arduino sketch, and Fritzing sketch.  If you can post video, great.

Tie your previous project (or a new one if you like) to a p5.js client: display the state of your client and any relevant sensor data in p5.js.   Use graphics, animation, sound, or any other p5.js feature you think is the best element for displaying this data.
