Module 2
At this stage we did quick and simple prototype and develope the product based on the testing feeback. We also further explored the Aruino, different sensors and coding approaching to the final prototype.
Workshop 1 Geurilla Prototyping I
Workshop 2 Geurilla Prototyping II
Activity 1: My Resarch on HeartBeat Sensor Blinking with LEDs
The Hearbeat sensor was tested in the early stage because it was found not working or responde properly be other groups. Fortunately following the instructions online, the signals were successfully being received, the serial plotter was able to visualize the pulse. By connecting the Arduino with the breadboard using wires, and combining our LED circuits knowledge from activity in project 1, the LED was blinking the same beat with the hearbeat.
Activity 2: My Reearch on Ripples Effect Using p5js
Since the tide at the shore displaying on the floor was planed, I looked through tutorials to code the water ripples effect response to touching. It tried two different p5js code：The first simulates independent ripples, responding to each individual tap/touch. The second reacts to swipe gestures, generating a chain reaction of cascading water wave effects.

Project 2
Project 2 Prototype
For our prototype this module, we successfully set up and visualized a heartbeat sensor interaction with Arduino’s serial plotter, then linked the tracked numbers to an LED and set it up to beat in sync with the participant’s heartbeat. This successfully simulates a major interaction we have planned for our final project where the stars (LEDs) on the ceiling beat in sync with any heartbeat they sense.
