Assignment 06

Building on this week’s high current examples, create a small “kinetic” sculpture.
- The sculpture should be button activated.
- The sculpture / sketch should be completed in less than 1 hour (once you get your circuit set up).
- When the button is pressed, a motor or solenoid should turn on for 5000 ms and then turn off again.
- Choose materials that amplify the movement of the motor or solenoid.
- You can use your own motors / solenoids, purchase them from the Media Center or borrow one.
- Capture your kinetic sculpture as a video and bring it to class.
Review
- What are some uses for a transistor?
- What factors will help you select the right transistor?
- What factors will help you select the right motor?
- What actuator might you use for low speed and high angular precision?
- What actuator might you use for a continuously rotating slow speed?
- What actuator might you use for a linear
Prepare openFrameworks for work in class next week.
- For macOS
  - Download Xcode (From the App Store)
    - If it says your operating system is too old, upgrade your operating system or get an older copy from me.
  - Download openFrameworks.
  - Unzip it and navigate to the openFrameworks/examples/3d/cameraRibbonExample example.
  - Open the cameraRibbonExample.xcodeproj file in Xcode.
  - Run the example. If nothing seems to happen, make sure active scheme is the cameraRibbonExample, not just openFrameworks.
- For other OSs, let me know if you have questions.
Begin reading about openFrameworks in ofBook.
- Foreward
- Philosophy
- Structure
- C++
