For someone who doesn&#8217;t always enjoy crafting individual items by hand, digital fabrication is awesome. The ability to make things accurately without having to be extremely detail oriented in the fabrication process and the ability to make multiples without error is pretty powerful. The downside to all this is that the printed item loses the look and feel of human touch, unless it would be painted, assembled, or modified later. Another downside is the limitations of the technology that&#8217;s available to us right now.<\/p>\n<p>We also went over a range of different sensors today. It was great to build a repertoire of sensors for future projects. Scroll down for information about them. I&#8217;ll post gifs or videos of us testing them in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embroidery machine<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/110632450\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/110632450\">Kaho demo 1<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user3471662\">Jiashan Wu<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/110632618\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/110632618\">Kaho demo2<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user3471662\">Jiashan Wu<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/110632641\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/110632641\">Kaho demo 3<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user3471662\">Jiashan Wu<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensors<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_332\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/sensors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-332\" class=\"size-large wp-image-332\" src=\"http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/sensors-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A survey of  sensors. \" width=\"730\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/sensors-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/sensors-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/sensors-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A survey of sensors.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>LV Max Sonar EZ1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Detects distance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Piezo<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senses and produces vibration and sound<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tilt Sensors\/Switches<\/p>\n<p>Microphones<\/p>\n<p>Photoresistors<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senses\u00a0light changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Peltier Junction!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>senses and produces temperature change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/product\/189\">PIR motion sensor<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>detect motion from pets\/humans from about 20 feet away with infraRed sensor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_339\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wheel_tilt.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339\" src=\"http:\/\/itp.fromjia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wheel_tilt.gif\" alt=\"Testing the tilt switches.
