We are currently on the Preparation phase (self-paced), get your SWH kit ready and follow the Individual Tasks (6). We will answer your questions in the discord server (links below).

The page describing the LED is now setup as example

The first tutorial page is up showing the basics: Tutorial Basics

Enjoy.

Sketching with HW – SoSe2020

Leaning Goals:

  • Sketch with programmable Hardware
  • Build basic circuits connected to the microcontroller
    • Output: LEDs, Servos, Motors, Speakers, Display
    • Input: buttons, Dials, Light sensitive resistors, accelerometer, distance, I2C sensors
  • Program and Debug MicroPython on ESP32
    • Input, Output
    • Networking
  • Envision a new interactive physical object and implement a functional prototype

Topic of this terms course: Connected objects

Examples:

  • A toy for an animal connected to a representation of it on the owners desk
  • The fridge door in the shared flat connected to a bracelet
  • Two chairs connected to each other representing the others usage

Requirements:

  • At least two connected physical objects (can be more)
  • At least one object has to have 2 or more sensors
  • At least one object has to have 2 or more actuators
  • Object can be different (e.g. dog toy and ball on the users table) or symmetric (e.g. two chairs)
  • One sensors has to be “invented”
  • The object need to communicate over the internet

Timetable

Kick-off Meeting (90 Minutes, Zoom), 27.7.2020 at 17:00 – life online event

  • Introduction of the topic and format
  • Showing examples of the hardware and tools
  • Talking about resources
  • Introducing participants and teachers
  • Building of groups of 3 or 4 students – groups will work remotely
  • Kits can be picked up (or shipped) to students individually.

Preparation phase (self-paced)

10.8. to 28.8.2020

  • There will be tasks and explanation videos provided.
  • We will have a Discord Server were you can log in when you are working on your project.
  • This way you can talk to the other students and help each other out and chat.
  • On workdays, there will be at least one knowledgeable person in the virtual lab so you can get help.

Individual Tasks (6)

  1. Online exploration of Micropython, [4]
  2. Getting the ESP32 Hardware running; Blink internal LED, Print to serial line
  3. Output: LEDs with resistors, RGB LED, PWM
  4. Input: buttons, Poti, Light sensitive resistor
  5. Mini System: connecting a servo to a poti, print to Display
  6. Networking: storing and retrieving variables from the cloud Group Task
  7. Networked Mini System: generating sound on one ESP based on distance from another ESP

Group Task

Networked Mini System: generating sound on one ESP based on distance from another ESP

For each task a short video (up to 30 seconds) showing the working system and a screenshot showing the code is required. Preferably, we get from each student a video with 6 short videos and a single Document with all the screenshots (task 1 to 6). Deadline is 28.08.2020. Each group has also to provide one video for the group task and prepare an idea for their connected object – presented in a video of up to 2 minutes. Deadline is 28.08.2020.

Intermediate Meeting

(90 Minutes, Zoom), 31.08.2020 at 5pm - live online event

  • All group project proposals are presented (if you cannot make this date, you may submit a video recording of your idea)
  • Discussion on feasibility
  • Discussion of time plan

Project phase (self-paced in groups;

expected time required: 4 days full time)

  • Each group sets a time plan and hands it in
  • Each group makes a shopping list for things required
  • Each group defines 3 milestones (what is achieved when)
  • Each group makes meetings with teaching staff, will put this on the web page so others can drop in'
  • Individual sessions for help are available over zoom
  • Each group makes an individual date to learn about the lab (soldering) and laser cutter

Final deadline of the project:

30.09.2020 (you can hand in earlier!)
Video containing:

  • The realized project vision like an advert (showing your functional prototype) ~ 30 seconds
  • A description of your the system with some detail of what you built/programmed ~ 3 min
  • Making off of your system showing impression from your development ~ 5 minutes

Documentations:

  • Abstract of the project vision (200 words),
  • building plan/schematic,
  • code,
  • photos in a single PDF

Group feedback session after handing in (20 Minutes Zoom call)

Public presentation either at the open lab day in WS 20/21 or on the webpage.
