SUPER NERD DAY!!! -- World's simplest oscillator; Arduino/Processing introduction
Morning
* some physical logic games
- circle sit look & copy
- neighbor arms
- squeezy blips
- figure 8 sit
* Hands-on circuit building
We'll build the world's simplest oscillator from Handmade Electronic Music
by Nicolas Collins
(http://www.nicolascollins.com/handmade.htm)
Afternoon
* We'll talk briefly about the idea of an
algorithm
(we'll skip lots of fun stuff on that page, go back and check it out later!),
which will lead to:
* Intro to the
Processing
programming language and the
Arduino microcontroller board
- download & install Processing
- run Processing demos, quick look at code
- download & install Arduino
- build a couple quick circuits (LED blinker, button sensor, motor speed controller)
- practical questions...
