WK 8 – Sculpting

WK 8 – Final Dashboard Thoughts

Looking back there are definitely a few things I would have done differently. First of all, the data being sent over — as of now I send over all the values of the built in accelerometer (heading, pitch, and roll) when the only value I am using is roll, where I see if it’s between…… Continue reading WK 8 – Final Dashboard Thoughts

WK 6 – More Dashboard Fun

Still trying to solidify the look of this dashboard and how I want it to display the data gathered over time — which is something else I need to explore –> storing the data and accessing that to display all activity from previous days rather than just the current day. Also thinking about doing a…… Continue reading WK 6 – More Dashboard Fun

WK 6 – Midterm Progress (cont’d)

Did a couple more scribbles before moving over to Fusion to draw up the parts: The pen will be secured in the center, inserted into the top two parallel rods that will act as a rail system for the pen holder to move back and forth, which will be controlled with a motor and a…… Continue reading WK 6 – Midterm Progress (cont’d)

WK 5 – Midterm Progress

Planning on designing and possibly 3D printing a test model of the new version of the pen carriage for my thesis / drawing machine. Some aspects I will include: Adjustable pen mount (similar to the holder on a Cricut or Cameo, see below) A rail system that the pen mount can move along A motor…… Continue reading WK 5 – Midterm Progress

WK 5 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)

Running into some issues just trying to upload the sketch now with shiftr credentials rather than mosquitto. First, thought I broke my nano as it stopped showing up as a visible port. After a quick google, I read to quickly press the reset button twice to get the bootloader running, that worked and I was…… Continue reading WK 5 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)

WK 4 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)

I’ve started to make some visual updates to the dashboard taking into account some feedback from last class. I’m trying to incorporate more data visually and have made a calendar in the style of the Ring-A-Date calendar by designer Giorgio Della Beffa. Here is my Github repo. And you can visit the site here. Eventually,…… Continue reading WK 4 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)

WK 4 – More Modeling + Sweep

For this exercise I worked off the reference photos for the Ikea watering can — I initially started by drawing circles to extrude upwards, but then changed my mind and drew a cross section of half of the watering can then revolved it to make it hollow inside. Then I added another sketch to the…… Continue reading WK 4 – More Modeling + Sweep

WK 3 – More Modeling

For this modeling exercise we worked off these reference images of an Ikea plant stand: At first I started off by drawing from the top view and revolving that into a circle pattern to make the three plates, then extruding from there. However, when I started to think about adding any details like fillets and…… Continue reading WK 3 – More Modeling

WK 3 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)

I’ve started collecting the data from the onboard gyroscope/accelerometer on the Arduino Nano, so I’ve been trying to parse the three individual values. First I was trying to do it using fetch, but eventually after running in circles around that for the past couple of days, I decided to abandon it and went the MQTT…… Continue reading WK 3 – Device Data Dashboard (cont’d)
