As we know, Matt is a sucker for retro novelties and amusement devices, so for Valentine's Day, he wanted to pay homage to the early days of the arcade with a "love tester" device. This Arduino-powered novelty determines a couple's attraction to each other by measuring the electrodermal activity between them and presenting a readout that borrows design cues from the legendary Nintendo Love Tester as well as so many blinken light-and-bronze-bedecked wooden cabinets dating back to the heyday of the penny arcade

Supplemental Content:

  • Project Eros Design Files
  • Project Eros Arduino Sketch
  • How To Build An Arduino Love Tester
  • A Primer On Electrodermal Activity
  • The Learning Circuit 56: micro:bit Touch Inputs

    Indeed, it could! It's essentially a galvanometer, so there's all kinds of potential for nifty demonstrations! Do you teach?

    Cool Valentine Day Stuff. Could also be used for teaching science, conductivity and applicable for teachings in Physics Chemistry and Biology in schools and colleges, 

     

    Cheers!

     

    God blesses!!!

     

    Best regards,
    Sanyaade

    Just in case people struggle to find it, makerkaren 's micro:bit friendship tester, which was mentioned in this episode, can be found in the ('link in the doobly doo') here:

    The Learning Circuit 56: micro:bit Touch Inputs

    It features at around 3min15s into her video on touch inputs.
