Foreword to the Sketching With Hardware wiki

TODO - basically what we had in the first live session

Video Tutorials

Tasks and Requirements

The course includes several tasks. First, there is a self-paced preparation phase with individual tasks. Then there is a group task to explore how connecting devices in different locations over the internet works. And finally, there is the group project. This is the main thing - you should make a fun hardaware sketch!

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

Preparation phase (self-paced)

10.8. to 28.8.2020

The is a detailed description of the tasks and requiements at: Tasks SoSe2020

There are different video Tutorials available, e.g.

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.


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)

See Tasks SoSe2020 and Group Project SoSe2020 for details and requirements.
