I have began to set up both the electronic and physical side to my project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the technical side, I have set up my wifi Arduino board and libraries, and created an program<\/strong><\/a> for my Wifi Arduino to connect to a weather service API<\/a><\/strong>, and pull temperature data from Worcester for the next 3 days. I now need to interpret this data and to be able to control the addressable LEDs.\u00a0I hope by Friday to\u00a0 be able to have the LEDS working with the controller to display static lighting. By next Monday i hope to have the Wifi controller working in the sense it prints the temperature data in its console.<\/p>\n

I have had issues having the wifi controller connect to a network, although I registered it for WPI. I believe there could just be too much interference, and will consider trying an ethernet option if I can not connect it by next week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the physical side of the project, I used thin plastic mirrors to establish a base image to see how it look s with a geometric shape, with various spacings to be made out of mirrors and have dynamic light behind it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was just a free style design to test out sizing of pieces, various shapes and how it looked eflecting a background while backlit. I hope to have a design cut into a small scale mirror (15cm x 15 cm) by Friday to test, and be ready to cut out a large scale model for next week. I placed it in front of a changing LED strip I had mounted on a wall to see dynamic light behind the mirrors.<\/p>\n
