I am a Visual Arts - Media major with an interest in graphic design.I was born in Europe, and moved to Canada when I was 5. I've lived in San Diego since I was 10, and graduated from University City High School before coming to UCSD as a transfer. I have been working with computers since grade school, and am highly interested in pursuing a career in the computer field. I have been in interested in electronics also since a young age and I think it will add an interesting dimension to my artistic career, and am eagerly looking forward to learning how to make art projects using them. ----http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/DSC_0055-1.jpg Portable Heater----http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/DSC_0051.jpg Generator? ----http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/DSC_0050.jpg Air Conditioner ----http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/DSC_0049.jpg Cell Phone ----http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/DSC_0046.jpg Car Keys ---- == Midterm Proposal ==My proposal is a hat which contains a cooling fan enabled by a switch. The switch will hang down from the inside of the hat to about shoulder length, enabling the wearer to turn on and off the fan. This is a crude implementation of a warm weather cowboy hat which provides cooling apart from shade. It will be powered by a 9v battery, and connected by a normally open switch. In order to operate the fan, you must hold down the button. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/MidDiag.jpg ---- == Final Proposal ==My final project will be called "Punch a Celebrity". It will consist of a punching pad with a picture of a celebrity on it. The pad will have an impact sensor attached to a arduino/breakout board, which is attached to a speaker. This will enable a wav or mp3 file to play at the moment of impact, and simulate that you are actually hitting a celebrity. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/3pod151/School%20Stuff/proposal.png Code----<pre>//Ian Petrov VIS147A Final//code edited from Adafruit Wave Shield Site#include <FatReader.h>#include <SdReader.h>#include <avr/pgmspace.h>#include "WaveUtil.h"#include "WaveHC.h" SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the cardFatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the cardFatReader root; // This holds the information for the filesystem on the cardFatReader f; // This holds the information for the file we're play WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time #define DEBOUNCE 100 // button debouncer // this handy function will return the number of bytes currently free in RAM, great for debugging! int freeRam(void){ extern int __bss_end; extern int *__brkval; int free_memory; if((int)__brkval == 0) { free_memory = ((int)&free_memory) - ((int)&__bss_end); } else { free_memory = ((int)&free_memory) - ((int)__brkval); } return free_memory; } void sdErrorCheck(void){ if (!card.errorCode()) return; putstring("\n\rSD I/O error: "); Serial.print(card.errorCode(), HEX); putstring(", "); Serial.println(card.errorData(), HEX); while(1);} void setup() { // set up serial port Serial.begin(9600); putstring_nl("WaveHC with 6 buttons"); putstring("Free RAM: "); // This can help with debugging, running out of RAM is bad Serial.println(freeRam()); // if this is under 150 bytes it may spell trouble! // Set the output pins for the DAC control.
