What will it do?

This project is an artistic installation which will try to revive older European customs and engage the public

Who's done what beforehand?

This is an old tradition that can be seen in various European countries. However to my knowledge and research no one has tried to embed electronics and turn it into a musical installation

What materials and components will be required?

4 plywood sheet 2440 x 1220 x 18mm

1 fabduino board

1 shield with mounted screw terminals

flat ribbon cable for the connections

4 accelerometers

heat shrink

plastic 2.4m minimum 70mm diameter tube.

fabric 2000 x 70mm x 4

Where will they come from?

All the materials can be found on the Fab Lab inventory. The fabric will come from the Textile department by the Fab lab space.

How much will it cost?

T

What parts and systems will be made?

a software in MAX programming language

1 fabduino for the sensor interface

wires for the accelerometers

the wooden body of the Maypole

the Maypole ribbons [4]

What processes will be used?

electronic design and production

2D design in Rhino

large cnc milling

programming (Arduino and MAX)

What tasks need to be completed?

finish the MAX application

mill the plywood sheets

finish the electronic connections

What questions need to be answered?

what type of composition / sound design process I will have in MAX

how sensitive do I want to be in gestural interaction

shall I consider Ethernet connection between the board and the computer?

What is the schedule?

2 days for milling parts

2 days for programming

1 day for the electronic production

1-2 days for the assembly and tests

How will it be evaluated?

do the electronics works correctly?

is the application working correctly?

is the interaction engaging?

is the wooden body of the installation well fabricated and assembled?
