Week Overview¶
This week is interface and applications, meaning that we are going to use a software in order to program our board (RP2040 Seeeduino or Pico).
The official individual assignment is:
- Write an application that interfaces a user with an input &/or output device that you made.
I will be using Processing for this week. First, I will be testing Processing on the simple LED output I made back in week 6 and week 8.
This website helped me to understand what a user interface is. A UI is the point of human-computer interaction and communication in a device. For instance, a computer mouse is a UI, because the user is interacting with the computer through moving the mouse. There are different types of UIs. A command lind interface such as Terminal allows the user to interact with a computer’s directories through text commands only. A graphical user interface (GUI) is the most common. Application icons on virtually every device is an example. I am mostly going to be working with GUIs in this week’s project.
