==Introduction==

In the context of art, sensors are important because they form a bridge between the natural world and the digital. From a design perspective, they are vital to creating interactive objects. Sensors, probes and detectors II is the next level of [[Sensors, Probes and Detectors]].

==Beyond Electronics==

We (human and non-human) all sense our environments, without the mediation of electronic instruments. 
What if our sensors, probes, and detectors are '''alive'''?


We set out to explore on a more conceptually expanded scale, what it means to sense, probe, and detect our environments and the inhabitants within.

 

=== What is a Biosensor? ===
Some ideas on definitions: 

« Something biological / living that responds to the environment »

* Scale
* Time to Response
* Signal
* Thresholds
* Calibration
* Location / Containment
* Specificity
* Sustainability / Safety /
 

=== Sensing, Probes, Detectors Some Examples ===

On the way to Vishal Electronics.
When i first saw the list i thought to myself " great what fresh hell is this..." because the list was soo long and was wondering what are we going to make ?? A rollar coaster ?![[File:Sensors3.jpg]] But when Mr Yashas said that the bill woudnt come up to so much so i guess i was abit cooled down after that.[[File:Sensors2.jpg]] Dhruv, Saurav, Vikram and I decided to go together so waited for our ola cab to come until then we googled the stores location. Yelahanka being Yelahanka, at the most uncommon times there were traffic. Half an hour later we reached our destination, we were the first ones there, walking down the street there were shops everywhere ![[File:Sensors1.jpg]] This place had everything ! Like if you wanted to build a Starship Enterprize i bet you could find the parts here. But soon to our discovery we found that the near by atm wasnt working.... hallf an hour later we had walked one kilometer in a circle and visited 8 other atm which also wernt working or wernt there. At last we spotted the Andra Bank Atm, walkig back to the store we saw that it was more crowded than before and also some of our peers were already there.[[File:Sensors15.jpg]] After minutes of waiting we decided to give in our orders as a bunch, given all our money to one of us and told them to collect it while we buggered of.

We Learnt about the bread board,, battery, light and resistor on the first day.[[File:Sensors16.jpg]] [[File:Sensors18.jpg]]

Learning about LDR and controlling the the birightness of light by a switch.

Connecting an amp to our bread board.[[File:Sensors17.jpg]]

Controlling the sound on and amp by the help of our LDR, this was actually pretty cool. One day im gonna make a music system just by moving by hands above it. [http://https://youtu.be/_WJ8zMWmXt8 link title]

Using and LM386 and amp and a male audio jack I was playing music connected from my phone.

Teachers had shown us our a copper board with various resistors and capacitors etc added to it for us to make our music system and design it.[[File:Sensors11.jpg]]

Learning Arduino. Im not particularly smart when it comes to sciences and computers and coding. So it took some time for me to catch up and learn with rest of the class.[[File:Sensors9.jpg]]

Programmed my Arduino to light up by using the LDR [[File:Sensors10.jpg]]

Made my toy. Could have done a better job i guess. But this little guy spins in a circle. One day when i become and inventor i will look back at this creation which motivated me to do better. [[File:Sensors7.jpg]]

My speaker is copied after the 90's boombox. [[File:Sensors6.jpg]] [http://https://youtu.be/NMu4AAvbeCk link title]

Controlling my servo motor via the arduino to turn 180 degrees and back like a clock. [[File:Sensors19.jpg]] [http://https://youtu.be/_GDJs27y7ZQ link title]

Our final project. Like a Big Logo turtal machine which draws by programming it through the arduino. [[File:DSC_2792.jpg]]
