Interactive Chinese Shadow, 2011<br />
Arduino Uno + Firmata + Firefly + TouchOSC<br />
Interactive Chinese Shadow is one <strong>of</strong> my final<br />
unit projects. It allows a participant to interact<br />
with a Chinese shadow device by using iPhone’s<br />
TouchOSC app.<br />
For this device, I used Touch OSC, an easy <strong>and</strong><br />
accessible independent interface for iPhone<br />
application <strong>design</strong>. This was augmented with<br />
Firmata, Firefly, Arduino uno, four servos, an<br />
RGB Led, a flashlight <strong>and</strong> a Chinese shadow<br />
toy. Firefly is a very easy-to-use s<strong>of</strong>tware that<br />
allow Arduino fans to achieve multiple functions<br />
without time factor <strong>of</strong> coding <strong>and</strong> Processing.<br />
The framework <strong>and</strong> 3D illustrations can help<br />
one more easily underst<strong>and</strong> the basic working<br />
process <strong>and</strong> how these s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>and</strong> hardware<br />
connect <strong>and</strong> work together. Internal structure<br />
demonstrates what the device itself looks like.<br />
TouchOSC interface shows how the app works<br />
<strong>and</strong> controls the specific functions <strong>of</strong> device.<br />
This TouchOSC interface allows participants<br />
to adjust the device’s background colour,<br />
brightness <strong>and</strong> Chinese Shadow’s actions. Red,<br />
blue <strong>and</strong> green rotary-buttons control the RGB<br />
colour <strong>and</strong> the white rotary-button controls the<br />
normal LED brightness value. Four fader-buttons<br />
play the role <strong>of</strong> adjust Chinese Shadow’s actions.<br />
