Project Idea
Casta and I are both from China, but two different cities. There are two famous types of noodle dishes in our cities. One is called Zhajing noodle, and the other one is Satay Noodle. This is the starting point of our project. We want to introduce different types of noodles in Chinese cuisine through an interactive experience. By adding ingredients to the noodle bowl, the players can either get a specific type of noodle dish, for example, the Zhejiang noodle if the ingredients match, or their own DIY noodle.
Storyboard
Physical
For the physical part, we will have models for the noodle bowls and all the ingredients laying on a table. Each ingredient has one side of a magnet switch attached to it, so once it is lifted up from the table, a digital input signal will be sent to the microcontroller to determine which ingredient has been picked up, and then the same ingredient will also show up on the p5 monitor.
food models
P5
For the P5 part, we first tested the logic with simple shapes, and buttons instead of digital input.
After we have proved the program was working, we completed the sketch with the actual graphic.
