Bridges by Nikhil Joshi

There is a physical world and a digital world and between, lies series of rules, interfaces and constrains. The only way to interact is to learn the rules, but why? With all these objects around us, we hold immense amount of knowledge and information about them. The way they behave and the way we handle them. But still every new digital object comes with a daunting task of understanding his way. Why can't we put our knowledge of the physical world around us, right from wearing sandals to hammering nails in the digital world to augment and alter it? The task is to create controllers whose usage is by default embedded in us. The installation "THROW" here presents one iteration of the concept of "Bridges", which aims at combining the physical and the digital world. Here we take example of a ball understanding its basic physical properties and affordances. The knowledge we hold about the ball in the manner that we bounce, throw and squeeze it. This knowledge can be mapped with quantitative values of force, spin and speed. In the installation you aim and throw the ball towards a projected stacked pile of can using your knowledge of aiming and throwing a ball right from your childhood. This knowledge of yours clubbed with quantitative values of speed, force and spin becomes an input device for the digital interface

Electronic security code lock system

Hi friends, This is a video for testing operations, your comments and suggestions are very helpful for next version of this system. If you have any idea we can work together for developing system. Here you can get information about hardware configuration, user operations and silent operations. 

Hardware Configuration:

- 16 x 2 LCD User interface display

- Password Input by 4 x 3 keyboard  matrix with 0-9,* and # keys are in use

- Stepper motor is connected for locking and unlocking operations.

- There is an option for Relay, Servo Motor, DC Motor or Electro Magnet also.

- There is a green and red light indication.

- If door is locked red led will on, or on unlock green will on.

- Buzzer indication for errors and ok states

.

User Operation:

- For first time default password is 1234 then user can it by new password.

- Enter correct password for unlocking operation.

- System will gives error message for each wrong operation.

- Only unlock on correct password.

- User can change password by pressing 9999.

- It will ask for current password,

- If it is ok then ask for new password, then display it for 2 second.

- User can lock door any time by pressing * (Star) button.

- In door unlock mode as well as in password change mode.

Silent Operation:

- On system starts, stepper motor will find the home position using lever switch

- It will getting input from external lever switch

- When get input from lever switch, it will conform home position.

- In home position door is in lock mode.

- Stepper motor is in release mode (power off mode) after each operation.

- This operation is helpful for power saving. 

- Password will save in microcontroller memory.

- In power off condition circuit will remember password without any battery backup.

- When door is unlocked and user will press * then it will give message for already unlocked condition.

Thanks for your attention.
