University Projects

This is a concept sketch for my final project explaining what I intend to design/build and who this creation is intended for.

I attempted to build another project which included an Arduino Mega instead of an Arduino Uno. Unfortunately like attempt 1, although the diagram was simple to follow I could not get this project to work. This may have been due to the coding found for this project on instructables not working with the hardware correctly, the wiring as some wires looked as though they used T-Junctions which is difficult to re-create or the Arduino Mega board or components being faulty.

Study Task This study task allowed us to create a slideshow with three slides. Main VVVV file for this project which contained other patches that were compressed. These patches worked together to create the final task. Screen One This patch created the first scene/slide used in the final creation. The I/O boxes connected to the output of the 'HSL' node control the colours used in the gradient by altering the hue, saturation, lightness and alpha of a specific I/O box (output). The 'DynamicTexture' node creates the gradient effect while the 'LinearSpread' ensures that these colours are either going in a vertical or horizontal position. The 'UniformScale' node is used to change the size of the 'Quad' (square). The text's position is also changed using the 'Translate' node while the 'UniformScale' node changes the size of the text. Screen Two This patch created the second scene/slide used in the fi...

I attempted to follow an instructables project on building an access control using an Arduino keypad and servo motor. Although I followed the schematic diagram closely and am sure that my connections/wires are in the correct place, I believe that there is a problem with the code/libraries provided - as my project did not work.

Study Task 2 This study task allows us to create a credit style animation. The 'LinearSpread' node ensured that the spread of text would be linear (horizontal or vertical) while the 'Translate' node moved the object/text in a specific position. Results from renderer

Study Task 1 This study task allowed us to create and save a graphic every time the switch node was activated. The 'GridSpread' node allowed the square grid to be produced while the 'HSL' node allowed the colours of the squares to be changed by connecting the 'Quad' node, which produces a square, to the hue connector. Results from the renderer

Study Task 4 We developed study task 1 by adding a sound detection feature using a node named 'BeatDetector'. When selecting the correct microphone and making a noise the toggle buttons would flash showing that a sound had been picked up and simultaneously, this switched the switch causing the text, text colour and background colour of the renderer to change.
