KHMAY.SS CLASS smartSurfaces1.1-2

 


1.1 The first smart surfaces class introduced the Arduino starter kit and a simple wiring task: blink an led via pin13 and the provided script. I helped others try not to fry their boards. 
1.2 We formed groups and began project 1– model a design for a smart surface based on the variables provided (hourly folding water).  We began our discussion and managed to present a cardboard mockup of something.  We were unable to determine the problem to which the surface was reacting.  The discussion was difficult and dominated mostly by those who weren't listening to group.
