Imitating Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian evolved a non-representational form which he termed Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the use of the three primary colours.
The assignment was to imitate the following work using processing:

The processing code is as follows:

Here is the screenshot of the output:

Changing Colour

We were required to incorporate some form of interaction through a basic keyboard chip to do this assignment.

The processing code is as follows:

The screenshots of the output are as follows:

On pressing key 'E'

On pressing key 'U'

On pressing key 'R'

On pressing key 'O'

Disk Drive

This was a group project. The details are at : Disk Drive

Intelligent Dustbins

The project details are mentioned here

Arduino explorations

Blink LED

int pinNo=13;
int on=1000;
int off=500;

void setup()
{
pinMode(pinNo,OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(pinNo, HIGH);
delay(on);
digitalWrite(pinNo, LOW);
delay(off);
}

Inputs from keyboard, LED Output

int outputPins[] = {2,3,4,5};
int val;
int num_pins=4;
int i;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
for(i=0;i<num_pins;i++)
pinMode(outputPins[i], OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
if (Serial.available()) {
val = Serial.read();
if (val == 'a') {
digitalWrite(outputPins[0], HIGH);
}
if (val == 'b') {
digitalWrite(outputPins[1], HIGH);
}
if (val == 'c') {
digitalWrite(outputPins[2], HIGH);
}
if (val == 'd') {
digitalWrite(outputPins[3], HIGH);
}
if (val == 'l') {
for(i=0;i<num_pins;i++)
digitalWrite(outputPins[i], LOW);
}
}
}

Input from a photosensitive device and produce fluctuations on screen

Processing CODE

int Width = 150;

void setup()
{

}
}

Arduino CODE

int potPin = 2; // select the potentiometer
int ledPin = 13; // select the LED pin
int val = 0; // variable to store the value derived from the sensor
int timer=1000;

void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // ledPin for OUTPUT
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
val = analogRead(potPin); // value from the sensor
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // ledPin on
delay(val); // delay the program
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // ledPin off
delay(timer); // delay the program

Serial.print(val);
