[edit] Summary

VIS 147B # ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES FOR ART II 4 units;

A continuation of the electronics curriculum design of programmable microcontroller systems for creating artworks that are able to respond to complex sets of input conditions, perform algorithmic and procedural processing and generate real time output.

Prerequisites: VIS 147A.

[edit] Curriculum

[edit] Week 1 - Intro/Assembly

  • Introduction
  • Assemble your Freeduino:
  • Download and install Arduino 0015 software: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
  • Assignment: Assembled, functioning Freeduino, communicating with computer, able to upload test sketches, before next class.
  • NOTE: We have a newer, beefier processor than the original Arduino. You need to tell the Arduino software this.
    • (if you had problems uploading, this may have been why)
    • In the Arduino software, under Tools->Board, select the Duemilanove w/ Atmega 328.

[edit] Week 2 - Digital input/output

Week 2 Lab

[edit] Week 3 - Analog Input/Output, PWM

  • lights, fading
  • sounds, tone generation
  • Basic motor control (DC motors) see week 5

Week 3 Lab

[edit] Week 4 - Interfacing

  • Serial Interface
  • Processing, MaxMSP, and many more.
  • Computer -> Arduino
  • Arduino -> Computer

Week 4 Lab

[edit] Week 5 - Catchup / Oscilloscope / Your own projects

  • Discuss homework.
  • The Oscilloscope (Ah-ha!)
  • Wikis (take it away Chris)
  • HOMEWORK: Look on-line to find an interesting project someone has made with an Arduino. Register for this Wiki (instructions below), and post a link to the project you found, along with a short paragraph describing your interest in the project. PLEASE WRITE A PARAGRAPH describing your interest in the project, what aspects are relevant to your own possible final project, etc.

Places to look for projects:

[edit] Week 6 - Advanced Motor Controll

  • Demos of high-voltage and advanced motor control
  • Discussion of pre-final project (your homework for the next two weeks)

Week 6 Lab

[edit] Week 7 - Designing your own PCBs

[edit] Main Board

Many different options. All share a common programming environment, common code, and a similar physical layout. The board we are using does not require an external USB adaptor, which means all we need to do to program (and power) it is to plug it into the computer with a USB cable.

Here are some of the variants:
