Code Narrative
Sensor
The code for Home Away Home was built upon the sample code provided by C&C. The motion detection code was used for the HC-SR04 sensor to pick up the distance changes. I also used and modified this code from Arduino Project Hub to test the sensor.
When testing, I added LED (D9) and buzzer (D11) to indicate the connection state.
Controller
The BLE and pong controll code was also modified based on the sample code provided from class. I changed the device number to my own, matched the pin number with the board, and combined the sensor code with the template to write my controller code.
Special Thanks:
Kate & Nick, for all the amazing C&C classes, where I got to explore the tools, techniques, and areas once seemed so far away and overwhelming. Can’t wait to make more goofy yet whimsical stuff using what I learned from this course.
Yuhan, for always being a great studio mate and study buddy.
Jingshu, for helping me shot the video and sneak me in the library of U of T.
Lydia, for sharing the rice cracker (wong-wong 旺旺仙贝) with me that gave me the idea of making a zine. Without the rice cracker there wouldn’t be a zine controller.
Clara, for sharing the accordion reel, which gave me the idea of using accordion bind.
Last but not least, everyone else in the cohort for a great semester.
