Arduino with Python LESSON 5: vPython Library to Create a Virtual World

[michaelcostello]

Using a torch behind color plastic sheets to get my cheap color sensor to work. It now works fine this way.

[edotoole]

In python I was able to print the values of the colors but I was unable to get the target to change color. Whenever I moved the target with in the values of the IF statement the project would get errors and freeze.

Are the number of pixels for high definition LCD screens of TVs and monitors made today? I am a TV repairman and am curious.

Why does the virtual world not show your fingers holding the papers? How does the Arduino know that the red dot is there when the paper is blocking the view?

Hello Paul - Since completing your most-excellent 68 Arduino lessons, I want more Arduino experience using these Python-Arduino lessons. Because they are quite old, I have some questions about them. Since the color sensor is no longer available on the Amazon web site, can you recommend another sensor that you know works with your lessons? Also, would Python 3.X work for these lessons? Is there a better way to communicate with you than these comments?

Dear Mr. Paul I have Question could we use the color sensor to measure Distance? like when (NASA) calculate the Distance of the star which is a way from us by using only the light of the star :)

Why did you not have to give the location of the sphere in the program?

[erichertsens]

Wow!! Paul, you are a natural teacher, you explain the complex so easily and understandable :). I just swallowed this whole series back to back and my mind is sprouting idea after idea on how to use these new skills.
from the Dominican Republic, Gracias!!

Hi Mr.McWhorter.I have been enjoying you videos on the arduino and wanted to know if its possible for one to convert raw audio signal inputs into, lets say, wave (.wav) files in arduino.Your feedback on this is highly appreciated.

I'm new to arduino and been following these tutorials, the format you use is great with the 3 windows so you can follow what's happening and the way you explain stuff has made it simpliar for even someone as thick as me to work along with it
Thx and keep up the great work,

The video tutorials looks great and thank you sir for the effort, its much useful to me,

the position of the ball needs to be mentioned?, because only the color and the radius has been given, or will it takes its own position?

[ProfTAdamson]

This is some really great and powerful stuff... Thanks for taking the time to share all of this..

31:32 - LOL - I love how angry Paul gets about Python and variables.

[ClaudePlouffe]

Merci, I like what you're doing. It help me so much to speed up in my learning.
Thanks

great video, i have learnt a lot from your video series, thank you for your work and sharing.

You, sir, are a genius. The idea of using my favorite Python package (Visual) to create a virtual world reading sensors and updating position/color in real time is mindblowing.
