Ever pushed two flatpacked IKEA chairs through the streets of New York on a longboard? I have!
Eugene and I went to IKEA today to get two chairs for our pComp midterm project, [...]

It’s new, improved, and actually functional!

…sorta. It’s certainly started, at the very least. We made a little model out of fibercore (frame) and foamcore (cushions), and we got lights to blink when pressure was applied.
Step one [...]
…yes, you read that right. I’ll put up a whole why-and-how show-and-dance soon, as Eugene and Tonio and I work, but here:
[Sit test!]
[Squeeze test with motor!]

And about getting the servo motor to work via Arduino:
and the whole freaking thing vanished when I went to save the blog posting.
…so I’ll rewrite it later. But it works, so there. And I blew up an LED today. It smells [...]
I’m not kidding. This is the error message I just got for trying to re-save a file:
Just talking about Arduino, y’all. pComp’in this week meant writing an analog in code and wiring up der breadboard for it. Actually, after the past few weeks of pComp classes and a few sessions of the Ben Chao Will Teach You How To Wire Stuff Right tutorial, I’m getting this faster and faster.
My [...]
Note: this was posted last week, but I’ve added to it and re-tweaked it with some images and additional thoughts — thought it was only fair to change the timestamp.
This week’s assignment for pComp had us working in groups, observing… stuff. The requirements for the assignment were to watch something, anything, very very [...]
It works!!!
Ben C. has shown me the error of my ways, and in this case, my error amounts to a confused high and low setup. Swapped the order of some wiring, and the previously-broken circuit now goes blinkyblinky, either green (if the wires touch) or yellow (if they don’t).
Phew. I feel like much [...]
