The main topic of the day is the use of light as an expressive way of interaction. As examples of different light projects, we have seen a bunch of movies taken from different projects existing on the internet.

Code example for a P.O.V. device
An array of LEDs changing their values in time at a high speed, can simulate to be many more thanks to the P.O.V. cognitive effect.
int ledPin[7] = {6,7,8,9,10,11,12,}; int matrix[7][12] = {0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1, 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0, 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0, 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0, 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0, 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1, 0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1 }; int i,j;
12번/13번 핀에 위와 동일한 구조의 회로를 하나 더 만들어서 연결해야한다. (두개의 LED를 연동 시키기 위해서)
틸트 센서의 기울기에 따라 전구의 불빛에 변화를 줄 수 있도록 만들었다. 틸트 센서에서 기울기 값을 아듀이노 보드로 보내고 아듀이노 보드는 트랜지스터에 그 시그널을 보낸다. 트랜지스터는 그 값에 따라 LED를 on/off 시킨다. (트랜지스터는 스위치와 같은 역할을 한다)
With the use of Tilt sensors and powerful LEDs we can simulate a transfer of light between two different devices. They can be used to illuminate spaces, location markers, energy indicators ...
int tiltInA = 12; // Tilt 1 connected to digital pin 9 int tiltInB = 13; // Tilt 2 connected to digital pin 9
int pwmOutA = 9; // MOSFET connected to analog pin 3 int pwmOutB = 10; // MOSFET connected to analog pin 3
int amountOfA = 255; // variable to store the read value int amountOfB = 0;
if(amountOfB < 0){ amountOfB = 0; amountOfA = 255; //don't need to check A, because A + B = always 255 } }
//analogWrite(ledPin, val / 4); // analogRead values go from 0 to 1023, analogWrite values from 0 to 255 analogWrite(pwmOutA, amountOfA); Serial.println(amountOfA, DEC); delay(5); analogWrite(pwmOutB, amountOfB); Serial.println(amountOfB, DEC); delay(5);
}
Code example for a color sensor
Sensing colors is just about measuring the amount of each component of light. Let's see how accurate we can become in reading colors from different objects and expressing them through RGB LEDs.
// default change values as in the lab
// recalibrate for you own system
// R G B W
int matrixRGB[3][4] = {680, 643, 578, 375,
759, 631, 720, 360,
254, 591, 603, 210 };
// safety margin
int sM = 30;
// LED pin out
int ledPinIn_R = 12;
int ledPinIn_B = 11;
int ledPinIn_G = 10;
int ledPinOut_R = 5;
int ledPinOut_B = 4;

int val_G = 0;
