Lab: I2C/SPI
For this week’s lab, I focused on the aspect that served my joint Physical Computing-ICM final project: data collection. I am working with Trusha Chandan and Rajeshwari Kotel on developing a wearable device that uses proximity detection, audio recording, and machine learning to help remember people’s names after first time social interactions. To acheive this,…

Lab 2: Microcontroller Basics
Before starting the labs, I read through all of the materials listed above it on https://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/week-to-week-activity/. What struck me again is just the marvel that computing all works somehow. It continues to be a mystery to me that we can harness electricity and direct it with screens, words, and pins on a little board. How…

Notes from Lab 1: Electronics
On Friday evening before attending a lovely gathering with other ITP people playing shuffleboard, I read the basics of Electricity. The “basics” outlined a lot of information. The materials objectively helped a lot, especially the metaphor of an avalanche to explain voltage, current, and resistance (height of mountain/potential energy of event is voltage, amount of…
