IXD-406 Advanced Interactive Prototyping

BOEING JET YOKE + ALTITUDE INDICATOR

This is the second assignment of my Advanced Interactive Prototyping, I’m a airplane lover, also a flight simulator game player. The first time when I saw atom matrix and its pixel screen, the first impression was: it really looks like a altitude indicator for an commercial jet! By Creating an actual yoke that is used by a boeing plane, combining the atom matrix with its wonderful pixel screen and the motion sensor.
Learning Outcomes:
From this project, I had a better understanding of how to program for acceleration sensor and potentiometer by micro python. Moreover, by applying the physical prototype inside , I could know how those instrument on planes.
