Today we learned how to download images and put them in our programs. We also learned how to rotate them, translate them(which means changing their positions), and scale them. We also learned a little bit about functions. We learned about fonts as well. I...
Today we learned how to put on pictures and move them. Then we made a project out of it by putting three images on the screen and it was a little hard at first, but got easier towards the end. And we learned how to scale,rotate, and translate our pictures...
Today, in Creative Computing we learned about the functions PFont and PImage. They are used to insert different types of fonts and images into your sketch. After that, we learned how to translate, rotate,and scale. Those functions allowed us to manipulate...
Today in creative computing, we learnede how to insert an image using PImage and we learned how to insert text with the PFont. To insert a font or image, you have to select one, and then save it to your file before inserting it into your program. we lea...
Today I learned in Creative Computing how to take pictures from Google images and place them in Processing by saving the pictures and dragging them onto the desktop, then drag the pictures onto the window. We also were allowed to think about our final pre...
So.. Today we learned in Creative Computing, how to download pictures onto Processing. I chose to show pictures of Happy, a cute blue cat from Fairy Tail, and a smiling cupcake. We learned about SCALE, ROTATE, and TRANSLATE. We reviewed animating and te...
So today, we started by learning how to solder. It was pretty fun, although it does seem kind of hard. We got out some RC cars, took off the tops. When we were done with the screws, we had to put them somewhere, along with the boxes. Then, we actually...
Monday, July 9th: Intro to Robotics Today we began learning about robots. We were shown an awesome car called the Google Car that was programmed with all kinds of different sensors, including the laser sensor that told it where everything was in its way...
on the 6th day of my arduino class we watched Carlos solder 4 wires and 4 resistors to a headpin. first he soldered the 4 wires to the 4 resistors. then he soldered each wire to a headpin. on the 7th of Arduino class we stripped wires and then we will sol...
July 9, We got introduced to some robots today in… robots class! We saw some high tech quad rotor helicopters fly in formation and to cool stuff like flips, or have a boomerang effect. We also saw one where the creators hacked into KINECT by microso...
July 16, Today in the DIY robotics class I learned how to solder safely. Soldering is just melting metal. My class is learning how to solder because we are making are car so we have to solder the wires to the Arduano. I also learned how to cut wire and st...
on the first day of the arduino class we took an intro to robotics. during the lecture we learned about nanoquadrators. they depend on a microproccesso0r/micro controller. we also saw a video of the Google car. it uses lasers to to make a virtual landscap...
on the 2nd day of the arduino class we took an intro to arduinos and an intro to programming. an arduino is a mini motherboard. programing is inputting codes in a certain way that make an object act in a certain way. we learned about a simple circuit an...
on the 3rd day of the arduino class we took a lecture on resistors and flex resistotors. we learned about potentiometers. a potentiometer is like a dial that controls the flow of electrons in the arduino. the potentiometer acts according to the code input...
on the 4th day of the arduino class we went on a field trip to ucsd. at ucsd we saw the silent tree. we saw the singing tree. we also the bioengineering hall. we also saw a house half resting on a building half on air. we also got to see the ucsd super co...
July 9, Today I learned what a robot is and watch the Google Car. The Google Car is a car that can drive by itself. It uses a laser sensor to sense where every thing is and the sensor is on a motor so it spins 360 degrees to see everything. I also learned...
on the 5th day of the arduino class we got ultrasound sensors. before we got the ultrasound sensors we had to take a……. a lecture. after our lecture we got a breadboard. then we got an arduino. then we got THE ULTRASOUND SENSOR. after we got t...
Today we got to solder wires so that we can make the car go forward, backward, and side to side. The hardest part was tinning the wires so that the solder would stick to it.
For the first week of robotics we learned how to make a sensor work, how to light LEDs and infared lights, and we learned how to use the arduino. The hardest part was scripting the arduino so that it would work correct. We also learned how to use a br...
I know this is kind of late, but I would like to share what we learned on the first day of Robotics. We started with a lecture about Robots. We learned what a robot is, how they are used today, and how they will be used in the future. A robot is a man-mad...
As usual, lesson today consisted of a lecture, then a lab. Our lecture taught us the basics of the Arduino microprocessor. We also learned the basics of programming. For the lab, we did a very basic circuit consisting of an LED, a resister, and an Arduino...
Yesterday and today I learned how to solder and soldered wires to resisters to pins. It was fun even though I got burnt once. Jeremy helped me a lot and so did Carlos. I also got a remote control truck for robotics that I am going to take apart and then d...
Today, in DIY robotics, as usual we started with an oral lesson, then did a hands on lab. The lectures taught about resisters. We learned what they were for, and how to tell the value of them. Resisters restrict the flow of electricity to prevent too much...
Monday : We were introduced to robots, the red board and my favorite, the LED. Tuesday : We were introduced to the arduino and other type of LED’s. Wednesday : Potentiometer, and the ultra sound sensors were the things we were taught that day. Thurs...
7/16/12 & 7/17/12 Tinting Tinting is when you take lead or lead- free solder and apply a thin coat on to the tip of what you are tiniting with a soldering iron. For example, you could be tiniting a wire, resistor, or a piece of metal etc… After ...
Tuesday July 14th Today we learned about functions and the purpose they serve. We started off by exporting pictures and being taught how to open them without having to go through the pain of opening processing then opening the document and then run it. We...
Today in creative computing, we had more reinforcement in making new functions. We learned the four types of functions , too! We also learned how to use the random function to make circles appear at random locations on the screen. After we did that, we ga...
Today I learned how to use the random function. I had to make 200 circles randomly placed on a sketch size 900 by 700. It was fun. People who were absent also got caught up with all of the stuff we learned. I also learned about functions and type of fun...
Today we learned about the random option and how to make infinite and random circles and how to change their colors in mid-sketch. We also learned about functions, and types of functions. It was hard but able enough to get it done. So I would say a ve...
Today, in Creative Computing 101, we learned more about functions. We learned how to create our own functions, but today we learned how to add return values and arguments. A return value is the value that the function returns(duh) and an argument is a t...
Today in class we learned some fun things! One of these things was how to make random things (or make things random). I got to make some circles randomly change size and move around. I ended up making some programs that could make some people throw up. Lu...
Today we learned about the random button. The random function produces a random nomber between whichever numbers you specify. We also talked about the types of functions. Also, we leanred about mousePressed function
Today was pretty good. We, or at least I, learned to use the random function to make circles and stuff appear in random places. We would have learned to move the objects if some people hadn’t been talking. We also learned to use different types o...
