Each Drum Trigger will perform has follows: A piezo transducer, covered in a mouse-pad, connected to the Arduino. The Arduino, with the help of programming, outputs the data as MIDI, to be as MIDI via some music software.

After watching the video of the “drum pants” kid in class I am slightly less motivated to make my own set of drumspants. But, if I do create them, might will be better. Why and how? Two reasons: mine will not all boring and black, and mine will send out a MIDI signal, resulting in [...]

I’m excited for project two, wearable computing. I want to make a wearable MIDI trigger drum-set that uses piezo transducers to sense force. It will be exciting.

Finished Project: Creative Blinker The LED responds to the photosenor. Passing the finger by the sensor causes the LED to change in brightness. LED Blink Project from ryan scott davis on Vimeo.

I got a Brighter LED to be used has a reference point. Now I just need some way to diffuse the light so the feedback is more visible. For that I am going to place a cardboard dowel around the LED to keep that really bright blue LED out of it’s visible spectrum, making it [...]

In early stage of blink project. Working on getting an LED to respond to motion using a photo sensor. To combat the issue of the photo sensor sensing ambient light, or light not bright enough, I added an LED adjacent to the sensor. Unfortunately, the light is not bright enough… Early Stages of Arduino/LED [...]

Problem: I want an LED to change based on my email status, but Gmail has no API (not that I would want my gmail credentials being passed around that way anyways). Twitter has a nice API, right? Sure. I want the Twitter API, using PHP, to tell my Arduino that something has changed. Solution: I [...]

I’m in heavy personal debate on which direction this project will take. Ideas: 1) A feedback-oriented LED blinking in respose to a software. My first though, using the Twitter API to tell the device a new message exists. 2) A creative physical interaction. Interaction with control devices that allows for a fun and engaging interaction. Many lights, many switches, [...]

I’m getting excited for the Developing Physical Computing course I am taking this spring. Just bought a second Arduino (the new fancy 2009 version. Our first project is something that blinks, with good and creative usability (of course). Will be posting progress pictures soon, maybe this class will force me to finally get a decent [...]
