Then they go on to show you how to use it, how to document your designs in computer-aided design CAD programs, and how to output your designs as specifications and tool paths that feed into the CNC machine, controlling it as it builds whatever parts your imagination can dream up.
Don't be intimidated by abbreviations like CNC and terms like computer-aided design. Patrick and James have chosen a CNC-machine design that is simple to fabricate. With some patience and some follow-through, you'll soon be up and running with a really fun machine that'll unleash your creativity and turn your imagination into physical reality.
The authors go on to show you how to test your machine, including configuring the software. The authors focus on tasks that students can accomplish with their devices, and skills they can apply immediately in the workplace, the classroom, and at home. This book fits the way students are learning today. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information. This book seeks to explore these issues through a series of video-based field studies.
It begins by discussing the introduction of basic information systems in general medical practice and ends with an exploration of interpersonal communication in advanced media spaces; in the process also looking at news production, the control room of London Underground and computer aided design in architectural practice. Social interaction forms a particular focus of these studies as they explore the way individuals use various tools and technologies and coordinate their actions and activities with each other.
On your computer, in App Inventor, click the Connect drop-down arrow from the menu at the top of the screen, then click AI Companion from the drop-down menu. This launches the Connect to Companion dialog box.
Click the button scan QR code on your device and hold it so the QR code on your computer screen is in focus. Wait for the two to synchronize. Note: You can also just type the six-character code into the Six Character Code box in the Companion app on your Android device, and then press the orange connect with code button.
If you successfully connected, the Connect to Companion dialog box should disappear, and the screen on your Android device or the emulator screen should now display the HelloPurr app, as shown below: Now take some time to play with your device and see what the app does.
Does it make noise? Does your device vibrate Note: the emulator will not vibrate and neither will some tablets. We will now explore the AI2 interface to familiarize you with its different components. User Interface 1. Navigate to the Components window. There you see the HelloPurr app uses one screen. That screen has: Button1 Sound1. Navigate to the Media window, which shows that there are two files uploaded: the image kitty. In the Components window, click Button1 to select it.
The Properties window shows all the details of that Button. Notice the Button has an image tied to it, kitty. In the Components window, click Sound1 to select it. The Properties window shows it has a Source file associated with it, meow. Note: As you make changes to the app in the AI2 user interface on your computer, the app will update automatically on your Android device or in the emulator. We will explore the Blocks view to see what is happening. In the upper-right corner of the AI2 screen, click the Blocks button.
This switches you to the Blocks view, which enables you to control the behavior of the app. Blocks are representations of programming code built into App Inventor. They make it possible for you to assign actions to components of your app without knowing the details of a complex programming language. In the Blocks palette, click the Button1 object. The when blocks are gold in color and are tied to actions the user may take.
This block controls what happens when a user presses Button1 the picture of the cat when the app is running. When Button1 is clicked, the Sound1 object is told to play the source file associated with it and the device will vibrate for milliseconds like a cat purring. Program the behavior with blocks. A Mystery App We have created a mystery app for you to explore. Note: This app requires actions that are not supported in the emulator.
Download the file Chapter2MakeThis. Navigate to the folder where you saved the Chapter2MakeThis. Click the OK button to load the app into App Inventor. Your screen should look like this:. Enter the code either by typing or by scanning the QR code. You device should look like this:. Now play with your device. Move it around.
Shake it. What is changing? When are things changing? What kind of blocks might be behind this? When you have an idea of what is happening, open the Blocks view and examine the code. Were you correct? Try making some modifications or adding new behaviors.
For example, try going to Designer view and adding a Text to Speech component found in the Palette pane under the Media category and a Text Box in the User Interface category and then using those to extend what the app can do make the picture say the phrase typed in the text box by the user when the picture is touched.
Now that you know the basics of the App Inventor programming interface and how to connect an Android device to it, you can begin building your own apps! Extensions to This Project 1. Record your voice saying something clever. Upload this sound file to the HelloPurr app and tie that sound to the button. Your picture will now have your voice!
Add a text to speech component to the HelloPurr app. Enable the user to type in the phrase that will be spoken when the picture button is pressed.
