The goal of this assignment is to show that you can make a more fully detailed interactive system with physical controls, and that you can keep a user engaged with your system.

Your final project will depend on you already having learned the skills from the whole semester. It should also demonstrate some of the following skills:

• Microcontroller-to-PC communication, through one of the following:
  • Asynchronous Serial communication
  • USB Human Interface Device (HID) control using Keyboard or Mouse libraries
  • Bluetooth LE communication (advanced)
  • MIDI (advanced)
  • Synchronous Serial communication (I2C or SPI) (optional, depending on project’s needs)
• Physical interaction design principles
  • Is the interface understandable to the participant with minimal instruction? Do they know what to do by looking at, listening to, or touching the interface?
  • Can someone besides you use it?
  • Can it be started, stopped, and reset without your intervention
  • Make the interaction iterative. In other words, it’s not just one action by the participant, but they read the interface, take action, read the device’s response, and take another action, in a continued loop.
• Construction principles
  • Does it have a housing so that the controls, not the electronics, are exposed?
