Arduino Photo Sensor

Project 2 Part 2

     The project we initially had for project two will remain the same except for a few added components and upgrades.  We took into consideration all of the feedback we received from the first crits on project two, and have incorporated new designs into the project.  The physical object itself is more rugged now than before and the workspace to draw your art piece is much more solid.  In addition, in order to document the art going in and out of the art exchange, we have hacked a digital camera so that we can control when a picture is taken using the arduino.  Also, lights have been added inside of the project box so that the images that are fed inside will be illuminated so that the camera is able to capture them.  We have chosen to use a photo sensor to trip the arduino so that the pictures will be taken.  I am quite pleased with how the piece turned out and the second crits went well.  The project was a success!

P.S. Pictures will soon be added. My phone broke so i need to collect new images, sorry.

Helpful Links For Arduino

Doing research for the Arduino board I stumbled upon this website that will be useful for when i build my computer. I'm planning on dual booting it with Windows and Linux.  Even though the Arduino uses an open source code, Linux has problems loading through the serial ports to the board and this link could solve potentially solve any future problems.

Hears a website that goes through a tutorial on the Arduino board and basic electronics.  Seems to be simple enough to grasp and may be helpful to many art majors not familiar with microcontrollers.

This seems like a pretty interesting link, more geared towards the engineers who want to do more complicated projects with the Arduino board.  I meant that in no way to be degrading to the artists lol, its just that some of the stuff made possible through this microcontroller that this website goes into is very technical

24 rocks, a.k.a. an expensive ring!

Second attempt at threads unsuccessful, I'm convince RHINO hates me...
