It was a busy week for assembly. Over the weekend, I ordered a bunch of new components on amazon that I didn’t know I would need at the beginning. I printed a bunch of parts while I waited for my online orders, and began the assembly process. Battery Holder I wanted to be able to…
Polish & Present – Vanshika Rohera
This week I finalized the project. I was able to paint some plywood slices and stick them behind the acrylic so that the images could be seen during daylight as well. I re-laser cut the images to get them to the desired quality. I also used an acrylic wash to color the base box. The…
Final Project – Olivia P
This past week I finished making the planets and then last night I set up the installation in the subbasement of fuller. Hanging everything up the way in the way that I liked took almost 4 hours but I’m really excited in how it turned out. When looking from certain angles, you can see two…
Polish & Present
The finished form a my project is in the form of a video displaying the various effects I’ve managed to created. I utilized the basement in Fuller Laboratories as a completely dark environment that would enhance the contrast as well as brightness of the refracted light. In addition to using Fuller Labs, during late hours…
Polish, Fail, and Present
This week I worked on soldering my working circuit to my solder PCB board. As shown in the video below, while on the breadboard I was able to alter the brightness of the dress by moving my hand and accelerometer in the bottom left corner in the video. However, when I went to solder the…
Polish and Presentation- John Lemieux
From last week, I was able to complete the functionality portion of the Neon sign. For this week, I tried focusing on polishing the wires and adding cooling features to the circuit. The issues that I ran into this week was that some of the soldering wires came loose, causing some of the LED’s to…
aniRGB: Everything Works
Available to be played with here: xu.yih0.com/aniRGB So everything works! I just needed to change the exact requirements for the app. I communicated with the AI many times over this and got pretty decent recommendations. Issue last week: light just don’t work this way. If red colored lights are on, only non-red colored arrows are…
Everything Working
So after lots of days on working with this I was able to finish every part with LED’s in Genji’s body (Except for his helmet and sword). Here is a video of me testing the legs and chest glowing in complete darkness. I think it looks pretty cool in the dark. His helmet is basically…
Everything is Here(and Working)
Since my last update, I have began to troubleshoot with an assortment of sculpture materials. In addition to the color polyhedron, I have added a platform that is capable of illuminating the object through its many surfaces, as a result a spectrum of colors can be viewed all at once. Below are images of light…
Everything is Working – LED strips
Hello everyone! This week I worked on LED strips and they finally got to work! I have spent some time to understand how to connect everything properly, hook up power supply, and test my LED strips at different settings. Also, I have written up some basic code for my controller to send out data signals…
Everything Working
After frying my EL inverter last week, I ordered more and focused on sewing the EL wire to my dress in the meantime. Once my new strand came, I had two strands and chose to sew them both to the dress as shown below. I will try to use both in the final product but…
Everything Working – Olivia P
This week I started to make the final version of the planets and the stars. I received the 6 inch clear plastic beach balls and they work great! Each ball uses 2 strings of EL wire which I think fills it up really nice. Additionally, I’ve been able to experiment with different patterns of on…
