As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Basic Switch Experimentation

I referenced the Arduino tutorial on how to use a button switch to light up my LED.

I ran into an issue where the LED wouldn't turn on, but I knew that the button was working based on the status of the Arduino itself. After checking that the resistors were correct and moving wires around, I realized that one of my wires connecting the LED to ground had broken off in the Arduino itself. After replacing that wire, everything went much more smoothly.



Goodbye, yellow wire
