Liquid Galaxy project

TOP ZERO TASK: Develop a hardware Arduino controller for the Liquid Galaxy

Based on ideas from GCI students (look at this task to propose yours: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/4748614270713856/) we're bringing a series of tasks based on his proposals.

Task: Interact with an Arduino and the Liquid Galaxy In this task you need to have knowledge on how the core Liquid Galaxy system works, mainly the communication between the tablet and the servers, look for this info in our diferent info pages at liquidgalaxy.eu, and also about Arduino microcontrollers. Also you'll need a full Liquid Galaxy system, maybe the one build with VM machines we have asked for in other tasks.

You have to do those things:

  • ideate a new way of interact with the LG and an Arduino board plus some other harware (get rid of buttons we already did in other arduino task!)
  • write Arduino code that will use this new hardware to drive the LG
  • make a use case of actions, like navigating, going places, etc

Task delivery:

  • Record a 2 minuts .mp4 video (no faces no names) explaining the hardware, showing the board and explaining with voice the achieved interactions.
  • send us a pdf with schematics of the system, and any special hardware needed specifications
  • Send the .mp4 video and the arduino code to the lgcodein@gmail.com email and post it there too.
