HOME About Final Project

Applications and Implications

Requirments for final project and this weeks assigment-

Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.
Your project should incorporate:
2D and 3D design
additive and subtractive fabrication processes
electronics design and production
microcontroller interfacing and programming
system integration and packaging
Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project.
Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.

About My Design

~Questions to answer~

What will it do:

My project will be a lantern light fixture that has interior neo pixle lights that can turn on in an upward spiral as a person physically rotates the base of the lantern

Who has done this before?

Shadow box/tunnel book artist Andrea Dezsö
Lamp artist design I am inspired by
Led rotary encoder demo inspiration

What will you design:

artwork on the lantern, cut out sections, code that can turns on lights when turned, Base of the lantern will be made from my own 3d printed design

What Materials and Components will be Used:

paper will be used, lights will be used, link to all purchased parts cost included

What Parts and Systems will be Made:

code for lights, lantern artwork was made using photoshop, Prototype for the turning base was printed and designed using the 3d printer and fusion 360

what processes will be used:

link to video for neo pixel link to neo pixel code

What questions need to be answered:

How do I make the lights turn when rotated? Will all the parts I ordered work for my design?

How will it be Evaluated:

My final project should be evaluated by the lanterns ablity to have the lights turn on when rotated and the craftmenship of lazercut paper cut out in the correct location of my 2d paper design
