Analog In Lab

I read about a study that was recently conducted that confirmed that women's sexuality is hard to figure out because it has an inherent dichotomy to it. Women want to feel pressure and a sense of overpowering from a man, as it demonstrates interest and sexual prowess. However, women also want to feel a sense of sensitivity because it demonstrates an ability to mate and bond.

So my love machine will attempt to measure the balance between force and sensitivity as way to get a more yin yang measure of sexuality to find a more accurate measure of their sexual prowess.

So, for the coding, I have decided to take Rory's advice and start with a code outline, so I don't get overwhelmed with the particulars. So here is my outline for my love machine:

1. Capture input from the flex sensor
2. Capture input from the pressure sensor
3. Map input from flex sensor within a range of 1-10
4. Map input from pressure sensor within a range of 1-10
5. Add pressure sensor range to flex sensor range
6. Add a value to each LED
6. Light up LEDs based on pressure sensor range + flex sensor range

Hmmm. Ok. This seems too easy. So, of course I have more work to do. But I will jump to the arduino to code now.

----

Well. It appears that my arduino needs some work. I cannot get code to upload. It appears that I needs to boot-something up to my arduino. And of course I need some special device to do so, which I don't have and don't have the time to get today.

OK. Got my arduino board to upload a sketch, after Rory was kind enough to set my board to ATMEGA 328 since that was my chip, even though my board was the Duemilanove. That seems to have been the issue.

Uploaded the blinking LED sketch and all was good

Decided to rewire my potentiometer since I had put red wire on the ground the 1st time around. This time it is in the right order.

Potentiometer lab went fine. Lights up the LED. THough the range of input from the pontentiometer seemed pretty flat. It was mostly all over 1000.

Here is the code for my love machine:
int input1 = analogRead(2); //declare a variable for the flex sensor input
int input2 = analogRead(3); //declare a variable for pressure sensor input
int yenscore; //declare variable to store the yenscore, which is mapping of flex input
int yangscore; //declare variable to store the yangscore, which is mapping of pressure input
int yinyanglove;

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(3, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(4, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(5, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(6, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(7, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(8, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(9, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(10, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output
pinMode(11, OUTPUT); // declare the digital pin 3 as an output

}

Here is my love machine:




The ball is a boob feeling blob, with a flex sensor on one side and a pressure sensor on the other. So a person must at the same time do a very light touch one side and pressure on the other side to achieve a combined yin yang lov-o-meter score.
