Polish & Present- Light Painting- Shannon Li

In order for my project to present and tell the story, I am making a video using the pictures and video that I took. The theme of the story would be temptation. How those temptation affect you, and how should you overcome the difficulty. The Music I choose is Viva da Vida from Coldplay

In order to finish up my project, I tested and had to re-wire a few internal components. Once I fixed the mode button debouncer circuit, I was able to make the cloud switch lighting modes properly. I also re-glued some cotton balls that I had accidentally knocked loose. To make using and transporting the cloud…

Polish and Present

This last week was for polishing my project, making sure that it is presentable and all of the electronics are tucked away. For this part, I decided against wrapping the ends around a large rock and instead spread them out around the center of a 12″ by 12″ board, trying to mimic the roots of…

In order to get my project ready to present, I wanted to build a frame around the exposed LED strips and clean up the wiring and Arduino. For the frame I cut some 1/16″ smoked black acrylic sheets to fit into the corner frame pieces. This protects them from getting peeled off the acrylic or…

Polish and Present – Yllara Maia

This week, I focused on the aesthetics of both parts of my project. For the shadow lamp, I stained the wood with a darker wood- stain and chose a lamp base which I thought would go well with the shade. I attached the bottom of the lamp shade to the base, and now I just…

I finished editing all my photos and picked my top seven favorites. From here I printed them at Walgreens on 8 x 10 glossy photo paper. I also bought a photo album book that is a refillable binder so I can add as many or as little of the photos as I want. I’m pretty…

Jonathan Luna: Everything Working

This week will be all about final assembly of all the parts that have been tested and confirmed from the previous weeks. I’ve built a 22″ x 17″ shadow box to house the display, and purchased all requisite materials to assemble the remainder of the project. The shadow box was constructed out of recycled lumber…

Everything Working

Sticking with my original design of the tree sculpture, I cleaned up the branches and wrapped the remainder of the fiber optics. I also decided to add a few touches of color to the tree using crepe streamers for flowers. I had difficulty modifying my code to accommodate multiple leds, as was advised by my…

“Everything Working” – Mikayla Fischler

Well, everything electrically/physically is working. After more failures and re-calibrations (such as a chip being burned, transistor circuit not working, etc), the system works. Audio is played out well, with acceptable acoustics due to the clouds internal structure. Volume control, power distribution, audio analysis, and basic LED control works. More development is needed before the…

Everything Working – Noah Hillman

As of last class, I was happy with the physical appearance of the shapes and illumination of all the panes so I decided this week to test a few different things while I continued drawing the animations for Hard Times. My original idea with this project was to turn the paneling into an infinity mirror…
