This week ‘s lighting moment :)

Final project plan

After looking around for final’s ideas, I realized that I have very limited materials for final project and it might be easier for me to do something about networking so I could also learn more about coding in general and also able to use the hue hub at ITP which didn’t require me to order so many materials.

Something like this, i guess…

Therefore, I went back to revisit all the hue control tutorials this week since I didn’t jot things down properly last time before I got sick and it was pretty confusing to get things start again.

I started with wifi status checkup and everything seems good to go.

Then I continued to play with the hue hub with the index page on the web and Arduino nano 33. Though, I found that it’s pretty for me hard to control the light bulb/stripe at the same time because of the delay() on both web and Arduino. ( each requests have to follow with delay? and we need to make an overlay sequence for each light? )

I try to check others’s homework page and only Louise’ s hue control page mentioned about it in her code but it still looks like she was sending a request one at a time for me. Anyway, her tip on how to spot the number of the light from the index page is kinda cool.

Here is a video of me trying to figure out my life in the next few weeks with the hue hub.

My next step after this will be how to put a code ( with my awesome skill in coding! 😭) in p5 using postnet ? / pixels video? together with this Arduino sample to control the light from the hub.
