1. Principles and Practices

Assignment

Plan and sketch a potential final project.

Brain-storming for a minute I came up with three ideas:

  1. Electric motor on wheels.
  2. CircoLED
  3. A multi function heat gun.

Processing through these three ideas. I settled with CircoLED, but why:

  1. It’s not available yet as a product.
  2. It’s amazing everybody needs light, and I need one.

Light was always my passion I had to create something awesome something unique. The market is full of LED but not the same as the one I came up with.

CircoLED

Programable colorful circular wall LED with a diameter of 40-60 mm (through out detailed research I’ll come up with the best diameter). Connects to each other like Beehive.

CircoLED Properties

  • Accessible by hard button and soft app.
  • Programable (through arduino)
  • Ability to change burned LEDs.
  • Contains Speaker.
  • Contains capacitive sensor(able to turn single LED off)
  • Ability to attach as many CircoLED as you desire.
  • Eight PD slots(limitless designs)

Many options are available as a product but none of which that looks like mine. Nanoleaf, Helios Touch and more. Common things about these product that they are expensive, does’t have speaker and un-programable.
