Here’s some help on the assignment due on Monday. The entire set uses three different integrated circuit (IC) components (see image 3 below)

• IRF540: A MOSFET/Power Transistor; used to turn DC actuators on and off
• L7805: +5V Voltage Regulator, used step-down the power-supply (>5V) to 5V for a servo
• LD33V: +3.3V Voltage Regulator, used to setp-down the power-supply voltage (>5V) to 3.3V for a small solenoid

Image 1 below shows a breadboard circuit for connecting the Teensy microcontroller to (letters refer to image 2 below)

• A: 1 x 3.3V solenoid (needs 1 x LD33V 3.3V Voltage Regulator and 1 x IRF540 MOSFET)
• B: 1 x Servo (needs 1 x L7805CV +5V Voltage Regulator)
• C: 1 x 12V solenoid (needs 1 x IRF 540 MOSFET) [image 6]
• D: 1 x 12V incandescent light bulb (needs  1 x IRF 540 MOSFETS) [image 6]
• E: 1 x 12V RGB LED strip (needs 3 x IRF 540 MOSFETS) [image 7]
• F: 3 x photoresistors (needs photoresistor and resistor) [image 8]

Please prepare a system using Max, a Teensy microcontroller, and the necessary components that performs the following:

• A photocell controlling the position of a servo that rotates a small figure (e.g. a toy figure or animal, a fruit, a plant, a hairball, a sea urchin, etc)
• Another photocell controlling the brightness of an incandescent light-bulb that create an animated shadow; for this you must find a way to arrange and fix in space: the light bulb, the object casting a shadow, and the screen onto which the shadow is cast
• Another photocell controlling the speed at which a solenoid hits against some doohickey that makes sound, i.e.  your musical score. For this you must find a way to fix a solenoid in the upright position, so that after it strikes the doohickey bounces back down to its relaxed position

Additional credit give for:

• Using any sensor besides a photocell
• Creating a meaningful interaction among the three actors: the figure, the light, the sound

• Make a circuit that allows you to connect four or more LEDs to a Teensy microcontroller on a breadboard
• Make a circuit that allows you to connect one or more photocells/photoresistors to a Teensy microcontroller on the same breadboard
• Create a Max patch that allows you to sequence the twinkling of the LEDs, in correspondence with the incoming sensor values from the photocell/photoresistor

I’ve uploaded the two Max patches from class today; feel free to use them, or parts of them to help you complete the assignment.

I’ve created a page called Software under the instructions heading; you will also find it in the right column of our blog.

Please follow the instructions in that page to download and install all the necessary software for your computer before arriving to class on Monday Mar. 26, 2012.

1. Choose a specific work that you consider related to the topic of “miniature”; animated/interactive/mechanical/gestural works preferred.
2. Research this work: learn about its maker, philosophy, materials, concepts, goals
3. Prepare a 5 minutes and 40 seconds presentation in the style of  Pecha-Kucha (20 slides, 20 seconds each).  Preserve the Pecha-Kucha format strictly!
4. Embed  your presentation in a post to this site as a Prezi</a> or a Google Presentation, before you arrive to class on Monday March. 21.
5. Be prepared to give your 5’40” presentation in class.

1. Read the Prologue and first chapter On longing by Susan Stewart (1984)
2. Write a three paragraph response to this reading refers to three specific ideas, trends, trajectories, or elements in the text
3. Post your response to this blog as comments to this post
