WEEK 03
PCOMP WEEK3


Physical Computing
Lab 3
Analog Output


With this week’s lab, I used speakers for tone output, as well as coding a bit more in Arduino. The most important thing I learned this week was to solder.

Tone Output

I first connected the speaker with a sensor, just a simple circuit that allowed the speaker to play a consistent ringing tone.

In the following play tones lab, I encountered some problems with the coding. The given code was not reading anything when I used serial.print to test it. I tried working on it with a resident, but neither of us were able to figure out why. After talking to some peers, they discovered that the map functions requires a constraint function to establish the range, in order for SensorReading to be working.

After that, I used a transistor to play some tones and melodies, as well as adjusting the audio.











Using three force sensing resistors to use different pressure as a three-key keyboard.





Servo Moto


Connetcing an analog input with a servomotor, through the FSR the speed of the servomotor can be controlled.
I only used the code that was given, but it would be great to use it on personal projects.
