Here's one I made earlier...



Today in class we got shown how we can start implementing our self-assembled Arduino circuits and moreover its potential developments in actual technologic applications.

We talked about various sensors and was shown several mocked up versions including
  • infra-red sensor (heat)
  • pressure sensor
  • spectrum sensor (colour)
  • slider or dials (potentiometer)
  • heart-rate sensor 
Pete brought out pre-assembled devices while we ooohed and ahhhed over them. I guess it was fascinating to actually see how the arduinos could physically work with these sensors and I think gave all of us food for thought. As you can imagine, there are an array of sensors measuring all sorts of data, so essentially the tip of an iceberg of possibilities (???)

  1. Hello 'virtual social vegetable'! Good discussion today and I love this photo... Your blog is great so far - try to think of it as a record of your thinking, ideas, research and interests around this project (rather than being a virtual socialite!) That way you'll be able to meet the assessment criteria for the project too.
    Have you found a code creator yet?
