Science of Smart Cities Talk
Last week I was invited to give a guest lecture to a room full of 11-13 year olds participating in the Science of Smart Cities program this summer at NYU-Poly. They spent the week learning about energy, so I spent
Continue readingArduino Leonardo Speed Test
I posted previously (here) about an Arduino speed test I did with the Uno board. The rate that it could print the time, a comma, and an analogRead value was about 1150 Hz. I just got my hands on a

Robotic Arm in Processing
I’ve been doing some pretty heavy reading and writing for the last few days, so I took some time “off” this afternoon to work on a mini project that I had been thinking of for awhile. I wanted to write

Sometimes when you’re prototyping a project it’s nice to see what’s going on with your sensors or variables in your code. Sure you can watch analogRead() values scroll at warp speed on your Arduino Serial Monitor, but what if you
