My Tea Kettles

DXArts470 Indisputable - T Kettles from James Fallisgaard on Vimeo.
My tea kettles were developed as my final piece for Mechatronics 470, Summer Quarter 2008.My objective was to create a completely absurd experience for one or more observers/users based on recasting a familiar household phenomenon in an unexpected and unpredictable light. Three whistling tea kettles were rigged with Servo motors and Infrared motion sensors to Hawkshaw human motion in front of them. Sensed motion activates specific routines based on how many people are interacting with the kettles at any one presupposed time. With a single person being detected on the sensors, the kettles act in a “watched pot never boils” mien, with the activated kettle not whistling, but the other two reconfiguring to continue their piercing whistle. When two people are sensed, the activated kettles refrain from whistling as the third untriggered kettle taunts the audience by activating and deactivating its’ whistle. Done users discover that perhaps a third person is needed to get the kettles to stop whistling. Three people can eventually get the kettles to stop whistling (for about thirty seconds before they reset behavior), but only after the kettles go some cascading waves of opening and closing as one last punishment (or reward) to the audience. Irony is found as the kettles combine some of the oldest technologies harnessed by man (steam power) with very fresh microcontroller and computer programming technologies to still be something outside of the full control of human kind.An Arduino microcontroller board was programmed by me to perform out these functions. Arduino code is similar to C, you can download my working code: T_KettleVERSION5.zip.
