  • The art of physical computing – week 2

    Physical computing is the act of making machines react to people

    Ohm’s Law

    Voltage(V)= Current(I) * Resistance(R)

    Types of resistors

    Resistors “resist” how many electrons flow through a current

    -Carbon composite resistors

    -Carbon film resistors(Most common)

    -Metal film resistors

    Variable resistors

    -PhotoCell- Not polarized (Can go either way)

    -Rheostat

    -Force sensitive

    -Thermostor Resistor

    -Slide Potentiometer

    Series circuits- In this circuit there are no branches and thus we have the same current everywhere

    Parallel Circuit- there are branches so currents are divided

    LEDS-Light emitting diode

    Diodes : A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance). It has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.

    Anode=+, Cathode=-

    Breadboards

    ATTENTION!!! Avoid removing or changing components o na breadboard whenever the board is powered you risk shocking or dying D:

    Transistor

    These are used to amplify or switch electronic signals (Digital switch)

    Putting the work to practice in real life

  • Haiii :)

    My name is Emmanuel Ewomazino Usiaphre. I live in ythe southwest of Montreal, I am a student at Dawson college and i work as a part time janitor at Shoei Canada my hobbies are skateboarding, Drawing and watching movies, I have a general interest in the arts so i’m looking for ways to integrate both technology and art.
