Week 1: Principles and Practice
Assignment
Make a sketch of your final project
Brainstorm
What are my options?
1. Modular lamp - lego shaped?
2. Music box - how does arduino go in?
3. Electric-longboard - can I make it?
4. Board game - what kind of functions?
5. MIDI drum pad - Can I even use it?
Research: Is it possible? (Links to each in "links" section)
1. Modular lamp
There is already a beautiful one.
2. Music box
Maybe smaller
3. Electric-longboard
It might be better to just get a kit.
4. Board game
Looks like a lot of fun, quite unecessary
5. MIDI drum pad
Super cool, perhaps I can add it to the music box.
What I did...
MUSICBOX
Using IR LED
Adafruit?
Ultrasonic sensor?
I will draw a better, more detailed sketch later
Week 6
SMART HELMET
I decided to change my final project because I was very inspired by the movie,'How to train your Dragon 3" and I really liked my sketch.
I want to make a helmet where the spike parts light up like the dragon "Toothless"Using Photosensor to make it light up when there isn't enough light.
I am hoping to be able to control more of the light via phone, to do other LED combinations.
Steps that I need to take would be to make a helmet(composite), the spikes (mold cast)
install LED strip, decide on power source (and where to put it)
and cover it with leather.
