May 3rd _ Final Project Review

  • Final project review


For this week progress, I have done the p5 emoji interacting part, and control the dropping emoji with Arduino. I also decide to scale down to two emojis instead of four, although I have already finished their code. Only smile and angry face will be used because this can make the interacting part more obvious and easier to be noticed. In terms of the Arduino part, I have successfully connected it with my p5 file by using adafruit.io. I haven’t started the physical part yet, so I use two force sensors to represent two different emojis in the demo video, and I will be ending up using force sensors in my physical emojis.

For the next step, I need to finish the topic shown when the emojis are falling and the result page for p5, which will be showing after specific time of no one playing with it or after the screen is filled up. I will also have to refine the interacting part. As for the physical part, I will be starting with prototyping before my components arrive.
