2. Structure How to start how many do have a computer? connected? windows/mac/linux? IDE and language Project

3. Set up FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V LilyPad Arduino AT Mega 168

4. Arduino software Download Select serial port Select board – AT Mega 168 Install the USB drivers

5. Programmin steps Write/reuse Verify/Compile Upload Run

6. Language based on processing which is based on java http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePag e

7. Language (comments) // This is a comment. It doesn't do anything. /* This is a comment. It doesn't do anything. Comments just make code easier for you and other people to understand */

8. Language (variables) int ledPin = 13; // This statement declares a variable called "ledPin" and sets its initial value to 13. // We'll use "ledPin" later to control the LED that is on the LilyPad

9. Language (variables) int switchPin = 2; // This creates a variable called "switchPin" //and sets its initial value to 2 // We'll use "switchPin" later to read data from //a switch attached to petal 2.

10. Language (variables) int switchValue; // This creates a variable called "switchValue", // but does not initialize it

11. Language (delay) delay(1000); // This tells the LilyPad to do nothing for 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

12. Language (digitalWrite) digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // This sets ledPin (pin 13 on the LilyPad as defined above) to +5 volts // Setting pin 13 to +5 volts/HIGH will turn the LED on the LilyPad on. digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // This sets ledPin to 0 volts // Setting pin 13 to 0 volts/LOW will turn the LED on the LilyPad off.

13. Language (if while) if (switchValue == LOW) // if the switch is pressed {digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);} while (switchValue == LOW) {digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(100); digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(100); switchValue = digitalRead(switchPin);}

16. Art project Poetic message – technology possibilities

17. In ArTe In the ArTe project we see technology as a possibility to introduce in our life more creativity, cooperation, and openness Sewing as a way of seing

19. The LED on the lillac gown displays a beautiful yellow color to symbolize day light. The LED switches to a deep blue night color and again to yellow. Day after day. By moving my arms, jumping, walking, falling down I alter this cycle. The more I stress the less I am able to observe the cycle of life. I cannot really observe myself. I need somebody else to tell what they see on my gown LED. Beautiful or less beautiful patterns can arise while I busy myself. These patterns do not always match the lilac color of my gown. the lillac gown

21. the lillac gown (cont.) I understand more and more the programs that govern my gown but I do not fully understand the relationships between my movements and its effects. I needed the help of both my student Hallgeir to write the code and my friend, fashion design Urd, to find my unique lilac Lilypad gown, and I need Daniela who believes in science, to observe my gown and its program to find the motivation to change. I do not fully understand the details of acceleration but I am aware I will. I know that the beautiful cycle of yellow and deep blue will come again and again.

23. Plan Decide what to do Choose the components Design Program, test and may be sew 10.30 presentations and discussion 10.45 log writing and send/store arduino programs

24. Log writing What I learned about Arduino is … What I take with me from today from Arduino is …

25. Conclusions - What did we learn in the 2 days -Most positive -What can be improved? - Which questions do we have?
