from a lightstick to a concert at home
process
This week I started to fabricate the systems. First I finished the schematic and pcb design to fabricate the pcb board of the base and of each petal.

Invention
It is a modular light sculpture that changes color as you assembly it and by sound. Bringing an art experience with sound like a concert lightning game.
(To see how I end up with this idea check the process page from week 1 to midterm review where I consolidated the idea.)

I have 4 main pieces: The base, the 2 stems, 2 branches, and 4 petals. I have the design of each but still need to design the joints of them all.

11. What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
Base: completed
Stem: Aluminium stem done. Case in PETG design done.
Petals: Design done, fabrication pending.
Pcb and schematic design approved by instructors, fabrication pending.
12. What's working? what's not?
The pcb design was not working with pin headers since the cables need to go vertical and not horizontal. I already change it to terminal blocks. Also, the signal to conect each petal was not working because the circuit needs to be pull down so i need to add a resistance of 10k between the VCC and the second pin.
pull down while connecting the petal logic
new schematic design with terminal blocks and resistors between the signal pins and 3.3v for each petal
