Applications and Implications
In this week, i had to define my final project, to understand what's next and how things must be evolving from now on.
My project should incorporate 2D and 3D design, additive and subtractive fabrication processes, electronics design and production, embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming, system integration and packaging.
FINAL PROJECT
>
So, i continue working on the hexagon lattice, designed some weeks ago, but integrating certain new parameters, however, after designing a little bit more deeper, i wanted to focus myself in implementing the idea of the light towards a sensory feeling in architecture, and will use the next things as described below:
Architectural model, interior design - responsive light
What will it do:
Through sensors, the piece will be able to light by approach or change and measure distance
Who's done what beforehand?
First, I was doing research for the LED lights:

What will you design?
A series of little pieces that merge together to create a bigger part, so it could be responsive as a background o frontal layer, the main idea is to test this responsive light in an architectural model.
What materials and components will be used?
Acrylic and/or plastic
PCB board
LED lights, over 20 pieces.
LCD crystal screen
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module Distance Sensor x2
12V AC-to-AC Wall Adapter Power Supply
Where will come from?
FabLab stock
Acrylic store (raw material)
Lightning depot
How much will they cost?
Around $45-$50 (usd) plus "mistakes" during development
What parts and systems will be made?
Micropocessor ATTINY44A-SSU-ND
Crystal XC1109CT-ND
Ribbon cable MC10M-50-ND
Potentiometer 987-1014-1-ND
Resistors 311-0.1ANCT-ND
Capacitors 311-1150-1-ND
Diode BZT52C4V7-13-FDICT-ND
Arduino Software
Arduino programmable language
What processes will be used?
The main idea follows the fact of sensible immaterial communication
So, using the sonar, with a variable programming learning the distance in between the physical object and the person
Trying to see if I can sense the mood and the light might change color, ro speed in any case, and see a variable rhythm with the panels.
What questions need to be answered?
The need of automatization
The need of companionship
The need of guidance
The need of assistance
The need of sensing
The need of an ambient
How will it be evaluated?
The process
The manufacture
The programming
The light itself
How it works in different places
