In class last week we were able to try and connect our game controllers to the ball drop game, and after some tweaking and correcting the password, I was able to connect to Tom’s server! I still had some weird issues where I couldn’t connect it to my own computer IP / terminal. Update: I…… Continue reading Week 5 – Game Controller (cont’d)

Week 4 – Game Controller
For my game controller I decided to use the accelerometer as the controller. Last semester, in Code of Music I programmed a ‘musical’ version of the game pong, and later in the Haptics class I learned how to access the accelerometer/gyroscope and used to serial to talk to p5 and incorporated haptic feedback for the…… Continue reading Week 4 – Game Controller
Week 5 – Joinery
For my two week CNC project I’ve been playing around with a couple different ideas — a lamp, side table, coffee table — but for now I’m just starting with the side table idea. I’d like to build a side table that can fit right in the niche of my window. The structure will be…… Continue reading Week 5 – Joinery

Week 4 – Even MORE CNC-ing
I really want to make some kind of lamp or other light fixture, but I wanted to do something simple for this first run on the big-boy CNC in the basement. (Plus I don’t have a whole of time between now and next Thursday where I can be on campus). First, I thought of just…… Continue reading Week 4 – Even MORE CNC-ing
Week 3 – More CNC-ing
For this other CNC project, I wanted to recreate and puzzle I had growing up, that consists of yellow and orange shapes and has a stack of cards with different images you can create using these seven different shapes, each shaping is used twice. I did some quick sketching to come up with measurements/proportions. Last…… Continue reading Week 3 – More CNC-ing
Week 2 Skill Builder – Othermill
This week’s skill builder is to use the Othermill desktop CNC machine. Earlier this summer, I saw this really neat tiny portable watercolor set made of wood – link to the Etsy site. I drew up some layouts in Illustrator and exported them as two separate SVG files for the Bantam software. Going through all…… Continue reading Week 2 Skill Builder – Othermill
Week 1 Skill Builder – Router
For this first week of subtraction, our ‘skill builder’ exercise was to use the router. I wanted to try and make a simple channel through a block of wood, which I used the table router to cut it out. I learned to adjust the height of the route bit at a smaller increment, because a…… Continue reading Week 1 Skill Builder – Router
