How My Computer Percieves Me


I got a feeling that my computer sees me as a monster with their eyes popping out glued to the computer argh so horrific

Integer Version Robot

Here is the Integer version I'm posting this because I was finally able to do it but I could only go this far and also because it is not saving properly so out of fear of it being erased I'm posting what I got so far

int x = 60; //x-coordinate
int y = 420; // y-coordinate
int bodyHeight = 120; //bodyheight
int neckHeight = 100; //neckheight/Antennae
int radius = 10; //head
int ny = y - bodyHeight - neckHeight - radius; //Antennae

size (720, 480);
smooth ();
strokeWeight (2);
background (204);
ellipseMode (RADIUS);

//Head
stroke(102);
fill(102);
ellipse(x+190, ny-90, radius, radius); //ball
line(x+200, ny+10, x+190, ny-90); //Antennae
ellipse(x+175, ny+25, radius+5, radius+5); //left ear
ellipse(x+233, ny+25, radius+5, radius+5); //right ear
stroke(0);
fill(0);
ellipse(x+204, ny+59, radius+45, radius+45); //head
fill(255);
ellipse(x+220, ny+45, radius+6, radius+22); //right eye
fill(255);
ellipse(x+185, ny+45, radius+6, radius+22); //left eye
fill(0);
ellipse(x+228, ny+45, radius-7, radius); //pupil
ellipse(x+177, ny+45, radius-7, radius); //pupil


//Body
noStroke();
fill(102);
ellipse(x+204, y-50, radius+35, radius+35); //end orb
fill(0);
rect(x+159, y-bodyHeight-43, bodyHeight-30, bodyHeight); //main body
fill(102);
rect(x+168, y-bodyHeight-26, bodyHeight-50, bodyHeight-70); //inside panel
rect(x+159, y-bodyHeight+50, bodyHeight-30, bodyHeight-114); //gray stripe

Upgrade Arduino Vintage Radio

This is my new and improved Arduino project.
Using Plexiglass and a laser cutter. I was able to create a great design for this project making that whole vintage radio type look.
I exposed the wires to make it seem robotic.
Also to make sure i didn't mess up cutting the plexiglass i practiced on cardboard.
Once i saw that everything was perfect I spray painted the front and back black and the center pieces red to give it a dark type mood.
The radio is powered by
the Arduino and it actually works like a radio it is powered on by the button and the dial changes the song three times.

Here is my Patch and Presentation

In total all I payed for this project was around $12 since all I needed was already in the Arduino so all I had to pay for was the Plexiglass.

Arduino Music Machine





Here is my Music Machine so far. Using cut pieces of cardboard and then taping them together and spray painting them lime green then black I was able to create a vintage looking radio.

The radio is powered by the arduino board that will eventually be able to play a song by pressing the button and changing the song by turning the dial.

Arduino LED Blinking Light



This is the blinking LED light. To do this project it requires an arduino kit (obviously)and also putting a light pin on 13, under GDN, with the small tip first the. First connect the Arduino board to the computer using the USB cord and then you open up Arduino on the computer and type the code:

void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(300);
}
This code determines how fast you want the LED light to blink and the delay on it.

Make 5 Projects

1-Batteries from Everyday Things: This project is very convenient when low on battery life. This project allows one to create a battery out of every day objects using a catalyst like material like zinc.

http://makeprojects.com/Project/Batteries-from-Everyday-Things/1347/1

2-Army Guy Bowl: This is a pretty fun project when you have a lot of soldier toys and a lot of time. It is a fruit bowl made of toy soldiers and it is made by using a heat gun and a bowl to get the shape and in the end it looks really cool

http://makeprojects.com/Project/Army-Guy-Bowl/1338/1

3-Kitty Kaleidoscope: This is a fun project but one needs to be tech savy.this person us3ed photoshop to create a kaleidoscope effect of a picture of their cat.
http://makeprojects.com/Project/Kitty-Kaleidoscope/1293/1

4-Paper Pocket Loom: This is a pretty interesting project for those who like sowing. This project is what I believe an antique sowing machine and it is made out of paper and yarn and if done correctly it can make a scarf.

http://makeprojects.com/Project/Paper-Pocket-Loom/1275/1

5-Swing Shift Ruffles: This project is for women that like their dress so much but don't want to seem as if they where the same thing over and over. This dress can change into different types of disguises.

Life To Broken Techonology


This is my discarded piece of technology. It is an aluminum can that is found in Woody's. This is usually used as a container for liquid but I decided to drink it and turn it to something else.


Being an innovator....yeah not really... I decided to take a pair of scissors and an X-acto blade and cut out a hole on the lid to be able to put stuff in. After struggling like hell to make the hole big enough, I put a bag through it so now what was once considered trash can now collect it. So you could do this or make it into another storage device.

Dream Machine





This is my dream machine named Dr. Diagnosis, this machine is capable of diagnosing any sickness and also allows one to figure out a way of how to treat it. All of this is done by depositing $10 and also by supplying the machine with a urine sample that is poured into the machine.
This Dream machine that was thought up for class was inspired by a joke and this is that joke. Enjoy.
