* === FINAL ASSIGNMENTProject ===The Assignment: ** The final project is an open assignment similar to the midterm. This time, however, you need to use the Arduino for the project and both the code and the hardware will be considered in your grade. The Arduino presents you with new opportunities, to create:*** A networked object, which either takes data in off of the computer, or sends it out into the world. see [http://books.google.com/books?id=K0nLbhWrTukC&dq=making+things+talk&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=QzeNS6LVO4H6sgPfqIytAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=&f=false Making Things Talk, Tom Igoe]*** An object with multiple inputs, multiple outputs, or complex relationships between inputs and outputs. *** Think of some of the sensors I have shown in class (and others I have mentioned): do you want to make a project with a 3 axis accelerometer, which is sensitive to position? Do you want to use a range finder? Do a little digging on the possibilities and think ahead on this, so you can order a sensor online if you need to. * FINAL FORMAT:** Proposal, posted on your wiki page in a new '''Final Project''' section:*** Two paragraph written description of your idea. *** One (or more) diagrams of the function of your project. *** One (or more) illustration of the appearance of the project. You can include additional reference imagery that is relevant to your project. Whatever helps convey the idea you are going for. ** Presentation in class.** Documentation, posted on your wiki page in a new '''Final Project Documentation''' section: *** 5 images/videos of your project as completed. Take these as if they belong in your art portfolio (b.c. they do!)--i.e. try to take them with good lighting, against a white background, with no other distractions in frame. We do not want to see dorm room carpets. Good photographic documentation will focus on the art object and nothing else!*** Post the source code for your final project on the wiki. Comment it so your fellow classmates can understand what you have done. And be sure to put your name at the top!
