DC Motors

So a few problems with this assignment. One, I figure out the code but could not figure out what to do with it. The application of the switch case eludes me. Secondly someone took my power supply...I need to order a new one now (it has my name on it should someone find it). Thirdly, I went out bought a cheap toy but the motor was not really great. So I must order a motor or two.

On a better note I came up with an idea for a final though the full process of this idea is rather large and would take the better part of a year to finish. So I will probably make a prototype. I saw Marcin Ramocki's "Torcito Project; Deepak" at the Art Moving Projects Gallery. He had a piece that took 2-bit images of people and translated them into music. It was an alternate note system for music. Because of my special education background I am always interested in alternate means of doing something. I enjoyed alternate language communication when I taught autistic children. This led me to the idea of music as spoke language. It would be interesting to create a robot that spoke music to a program in a computer and the computer spoke back to the robot. This would involve some help with music theory (though everyone can use a little Charles Ives, Gavin Bryars, or John Cage now and then). In theory the two devices could have a full length conversation with parameters and some random note creation. A final set would allow a person to interact with the computer or the robot and allow themselves to shape and be shaped by this musical conversation.
