I am an ICAM Music major from Muir college. I've always loved trying new things with the anything electronic i own, so I am excited to learn legitimately what's going on as I mess with stuff. Most of my experimenting has to do with music, as I enjoy playing around 6 different musical instruments. But I know that I'll learn a lot of useful things in everyday life (maybe for the first time in a class here) through this class.

== Grading ==
Overall grade:
* Assignments 50%
* Midterm Project 20%
* Final Project 30%

Assignments are graded on completion. If I assign something during lecture or if you do not finish a lab activity, that item will be due by the next section (one week later). If you finish on time, you will get 100% credit.

Attendance is mandatory. Each absence (from lecture or section) is a 1/2 letter grade deduction off your final grade. Three absences is a failing grade.

Projects are graded on :
* 33.3% - concept/proposal
* 33.3% - effort
* 33.3% - realization/documentation

Readings will familiarize you with material covered in lecture.

== Books ==
They should both be at the bookstore, though other sources may be cheaper.

== Curriculum ==

=== Week 1 - Intro ===
* Lecture:
** Grading/rules
** Goals
** Art
* Homework 1:
** part 1 - Create a page for yourself on the wiki, adding it to this list [Classes/2010/VIS147A#Student_Pages]. On your personal page, put your name and one paragraph describing your interests in art generally and your interests in electronics and art specifically. Questions to get started: Why are you an art/ICAM major? Are you an art major? Why are you taking this class in particular? Do you have any previous experience with electronics?
** part 2 - Field Research. If it plugs in, has buttons, has a switch, toasts bread, emits light, it probably runs on electricity. We are surrounded by electronic devices. This presents an opportunity. Conceivably, with the right hardware, you can interface with or control any electronic device. Exploring your local environment (your neighborhood, walmart) make a list of electrical devices, and document the 5 most interesting in this regard--things you would like to control. Avoid the dorm room problem--i.e. do not photograph things in your dorm room, apartment, at the price center, etc., unless you have good reason to do so. Dorm room art looks like dorm room's and thus enters the world severely handicapped. Don't do it!!! Document means photograph, video, or draw. Post images of these five things to the wiki page you made in part 1. If you are feeling extra creative, briefly describe how you would use each item.

=== 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:

*Arduino
** Arduino Duemilanove http://moderndevice.com/diecimila.shtml
* Freeduinos
