room of all colors and sounds
I developed the ideas from the second lab into a multi-media installation: Room of all Colors and Sounds.
Project Discription: https://itp.nyu.edu/projects/projectinfo.php?project_id=3213
The project was accomplished by building 3 capacitive sensors described in the section 2 lab. The max patch and arduino code were modified in order to accommodate for more sensors. A building a simple DMX shield enabled me to control DMX lights in addition to sound and video. Looking at schematics of a different DMX shield enabled me to know that the illegibly-label resistor is a 100 Ohm resistor. The code for the arduino was a little tricky as well as I had to figure out how to communicate with pins directly because that is a lot faster and the capacitive sensor depend on calculations that happen in extremely short time intervals. The code is below:

what appears to be an infra red camera (if you enlarge the image you can see the ring of infra red sensors):
touch buttons on dryer – pressure sensors?
atm: buttons and magnetic strip sensor:
