Assignment requirements:

Group Assignment

• Compare as many tool options as possible.
• Document your work (in a group or individually).

Individual Assignment

• Write an application that interfaces a user with an input and/or output device that you made.

Learning outcomes:

• Interpret and implement design and programming protocols to create a Graphic User Interface (GUI).

Assessment criteria

• Linked to the group assignment page.
• Document your process.
• Explained the UI that you made and how you did it.
• Outlined problems and how you fixed them.
• Included original code (or a screenshot of the app code if that's not possible).
• Included a 'hero shot/video' of your application running with your board.

Group Assignment

S4A

We wanted to try multipe interface applications this week so we started with S4A which is a Scratch modification that allows for simple programming of the Arduino open source hardware platform.

It was an easy app but it works with Arduino only and has start and stop buttons only, I didn't really like it.

Processing

Now we tried the Processing software with a board we made before.

Codes:

KiCAD design Arduino code Processing code

MIT App Inventor

We went to MIT App Inventor and followed this tutorial HC-05 Bluetooth Module with Arduino-MIT App Inventor to test the app with one of the ATTiny 1614 we made before

Practice

MIT App Inventor

I also went to main website for the app and tried the first tutorial, check the video and turn sound on.

Individual Assignment

Processing

• In the assignment with the Motion sensor & ATtiny1614 I added a Processing code that interacts with the motion.
• I used a processing example "simple read" and edited it a bit to create a botton that changes its color when the microwave sensor detects a motion.
• Processing code reads the serial value, using the same hello code I used in input device week but this time instead of using the python code to display the change I used processing.
• Code:
