+ | |||
+ | "So you have a DC motor or lamp but no matter how you connect them to your Arduino they just won't work? Guess what, the Arduino is a brain that comes with small muscles. It can control LEDs and other low power nicknacks but not those power motors or lights you need for your next project. The Arduino is good at thinking but not for heavy lifting. Lazy lad." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The TIP120 is a very robust item. It can handle lots of power (see specs) but the Arduino can't. So we must protect the Arduino from potential party crashers. For starters, we use a 1K Ohm resistor between the Arduino pins and the TIP120 Base pin. This is insurance against electric shorts. The TIP120 can handle 60V and 5A but I assure you the Arduino won't." | ||

They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often referred to as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors." | ||

Reading Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew B. Crawford
Lines from the book -
1."The man who works recognizes his own product in the World that has actually been transformed by his work: he recognizes himself in it, he sees in it his own human reality, in it he discovers and reveals to others the objective reality of his humanity, of the originally abstract and purely subjective idea he has of himself."
2."The satisfactions of manifesting oneself concretely in the world through manual competence have been known to make a man quiet and easy. They seem to relieve him of the felt need to offer chattering interpretations of himself to vindicate his worth. He can simply point: the building stands, the car now runs, the lights are on. Boasting is what a boy does, who has no real effect in the world. But craftsmanship must reckon with the infallible judgment of reality, where one’s failures or shortcomings cannot be interpreted away."
3.The craftsman is proud of what he has made, and cherishes it, while the consumer discards things that are perfectly serviceable in his restless pursuit of the new. The craftsman is then more possessive, more tied to what is present, the dead incarnation of past labor; the consumer is more free, more imaginative, and so more valorous according to those who would sell us things. Being able to think materially about material goods, hence critically, gives one some independence from the manipulations of marketing, which typically divert attention from what a thing is to a back-story intimated through associations, the point of which is to exaggerate minor differences between brands.
4.It is as though in our cultural iconography we are given the muscled arm, sleeve rolled tight against biceps, but no thought bright behind the eye, no image that links hand and brain.
5.More precisely, any algorithmic solution to the crafting problem cannot itself be generated algorithmically, as it must include ad hoc constraints known only through practice, that is, through embodied manipulations.
6.The factory service manuals tell you to be systematic in eliminating variables, but they never take such factors into account. So you have to develop your own decision tree for the particular circumstances.
7.Eventually it was learned that the only way to get them to work harder was to play upon the imagination, stimulating new needs and wants.
8.“Expert systems,” a term coined by artificial intelligence researchers, were initially developed by the military for battle command, then used to replicate industrial expertise in such fields as oil-well drilling and telephone-line maintenance. Then they found their way into medical diagnosis, and eventually the cognitively murky, highly lucrative, regions of financial and legal advice.
9. It seems we must take a cold-eyed view of “knowledge work,” and reject the image of a rising sea of pure mentation that lifts all boats. More likely is a rising sea of clerkdom.
Talk by Mark and Yashash - i could very well relate it with the reading.
Day 21 Jan 30
We went out to get sun and collect few items from the streets and then made we made some connection out of it.
We had a yoga session. our breath and conscious were controlled and we went back through timeline to get to know our selves in Andamans to now.

Day 52 Mar 2 - Reading - Beyond Black Boxes: Bringing Transparency and Aesthetics Back to Scientific Investigation
Reading - Beyond Black Boxes: Bringing Transparency and Aesthetics Back to Scientific Investigation
"Origin in techniques"
"Cognitive discipline of the mind"
"Both the power and the problem with modern scientific instrumentation are reflected in the term “black box” that is commonly used to describe the equipment. Today’s blackbox instruments are highly effective in making measurements and collecting data – enabling even novices to perform advanced scientific experiments. But, at the same time, these black boxes are “opaque” (in that their inner workings are often hidden and thus poorly understood by their users) and they are bland in appearance (making it difficult for users to feel a sense of personal connection with scientific activity). "
"Beyond Black Boxes (BBB) project"
"Constructionist approach"
"Jenny never succeeded in her original plan to monitor what types of birds would be attracted to what types of bird food. But the activity of building the bird feeder provided a rich collection of learning experiences."
"Jenny (and other students working on BBB projects) certainly did not understand the inner workings of the Cricket electronics. But that was not the goal. "
"This ability to modify and extend her project led Jenny to develop a deep sense of personal involvement and ownership. "
"As the old saying goes: “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one can do anything about it.” In monitoring weather, students are just passive observers. "
Constructionism (learning theory)
Constructionist learning is inspired by the constructivist theory that individual learners construct mental models to understand the world around them. Constructivism advocates student-centred, discovery learning where students use information they previously know to acquire more knowledge.
1. The learner's learning activities should be related to a larger task. This is important because it allows students to see the connection to the activities that can be applied to many aspects of life. As a result, the learner will find the materials and activities they are doing useful.
2. The learner needs to be supported to feel that they are beginning to have ownership of the overall problem.
3. An authentic task should be designed for the learner. This means that the task and the learner's cognitive ability have to match the problems to make learning valuable.
4. Reflection on the content being learned should occur so the learner can think through the process of what he/she has learned.
5. Allow and encourage the learners to test ideas against different views in different contexts.

Presentation by
Phase 3
My role is very my defined from the practises I did over last month mostly on making and using them as a tool to engage with people and kid.
Designer role ( Maker + for people and kids to create a learning experience )
Over next weak I intend to use sensors with attiny85, learn relevant programming, and understand power supply for Attiny85 and transistor.
And using what I learn create an array of prototype which would lead to a constructions like lego.
Day 82 Mar 31
Learning about TIP120 transistor - Objective is to Power up my sensors.
Ref image credit - https://ctheds.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/tip120.jpg
Use Arduino with TIP120 transistor to control moto
"So you have a DC motor or lamp but no matter how you connect them to your Arduino they just won't work? Guess what, the Arduino is a brain that comes with small muscles. It can control LEDs and other low power nicknacks but not those power motors or lights you need for your next project. The Arduino is good at thinking but not for heavy lifting. Lazy lad."
"The TIP120 is a very robust item. It can handle lots of power (see specs) but the Arduino can't. So we must protect the Arduino from potential party crashers. For starters, we use a 1K Ohm resistor between the Arduino pins and the TIP120 Base pin. This is insurance against electric shorts. The TIP120 can handle 60V and 5A but I assure you the Arduino won't."

PIR sensor
Reference link for PIR instructables
"PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often referred to as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors."
Ultrasonic Attiny85 - I need to refer this this link to understand the coding for Attiny85. Cause coding is quite deeper for Arduino as compared to Attiny85 to understand.
