An attempt to collect notes on this project as we bring it to a close.
During Monday’s class I gave students the current version of the Arduino sketch – and showed them how to hack the code which triggers Midi notes. it was amazing to see them make changes to the code, which they barely understood – and then upload their changes into the Arduino to see how it affected the sound of the stairs.
There are two sets of stairs:
- version 1 – built with foam/aluminum foil sensors and a circuit-bent Radio Shack keyboard. (based on a design from a previous life)
- version 2 – was done with Arduino, IR emitter/receivers, an Ethernet shield for data logging,
Here are relevant posts – until the student portfolio presentations begin…
