Final project week_1

For my potential final project idea I started with three main ideas and now I am comparing between two which of these two I will learn most from its journey and can be finished within fab academy time frame.

A. Interactive Binary Display

This a project I wanted to be working on for a long time since I got into python programming and using Opencv library thanks to Paul Mcwhorter python tutorial ^^ I really recommend this amazing old fellow. I have seen the Breakfast Studio website and got attached to the units like pixels which moves mechanically with some programming and interact with people standing infron of it.

So here is my initial sketching of the display and how I want to biuld it. I am think of using instead of servo motors for each pixel actuator or using magnetic elements I will use small DC motors to flip the pixel from white to black and the opposite using limit switches to indicate the the filliping happened. I am thinking also of adding an LCD as a way to choose modes: like pattern playing of enteractive mode which will be using the camera.

B. 2D Drawing Robot Arm

Big reason why I wanted to work on a robotic arm to do something complicated like drawing is actually I have no artistic sense and a dummy in arts and drawing but on the other hand I find arts really beautiful and inspiring so I want to make a machine to do art or more accurately duplicate art ^^. I want this machine to receive files to draw them via usb / sd card / wifi. I want to implement a pc application that has a GUI to draw and then send to the machine and I want to add a live drawing concept.

I can say that I more to choose the robotic arm. I will update this page to the final project I will be working on.

That is the end of week_1 and the start to a greeeeeeeeat Journey I am excited to go through.

Waiting to be written ^^
