ASSIGNMENT 3-SENSE

This project was TEAM based. My teammates were Linh Tran, Patrick Yeung, Marie-Joaile Gingras.

ANIMATE - part FINAL LOOK

What it looks like inside the box.

ANIMATE - part CONNECTION

from the Arduino Playground website: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/MAX72XXHardware

ANIMATE - part PROGRESS 1

The LEDs connections from front and behind before the pouring of the silicone

As well as measure sketches for the wooden structure

ANIMATE - part IDEAS AND MATERIALS

IDEAS

A) LED matrix (kept idea)

It would consist in making an animated display on an LED matrix

B) LED bracelet

A bracelet with blinking LEDs or that requires some kind of programing to be animated

C) Thermochromic paint bracelet

A bracelet with drawings on it that appear thanks to heating wires controlled with arduino

MATERIALS

The LED matrix will be made of:
- 64 LEDS
- 1 liter of soft silicone
- wires
- 1 MAX 7219 LED driver
- 1 Arduino
- 2 capacitors (10micro Farads & 100n)
- 1 resistor

SWITCH - Final Result

THE SWITCH - part PROCESS

Here are some pictures of how the thing went

THE SWITCH - part PLAN

THE PLAN

The switch will be needing 12 magnets for the 4 parts of the centipede, two leds, one 47OHM resistor and a power supply. Every switch will be made between two magnets.

Testing the plan with the breadboard

THE SWITCH - part IDEAS

IDEAS:

A) Centipede - the one I kept

I want to make a centipede in different parts and have magnets be a conductive switch between all of the parts.


The LED or LEDS would be on the head (probably will be the eyes) and on the tail there will be either a battery or some kind of power supply.

B) Puzzle

Something like a Rubik's cube where again, magnets are located in different spots and if we place all of the pieces in the right order and where the magnet's poles all work correctly, there will be light somewhere. It kind of reminds me of the movie "Cube".

C) Honey bear

Or some kind of honey loving puppet holding a bucket of honey. If the bucket is filled, then there is conduction and the lights light up. Wires would be inside of the puppet and the circuit would be open always unless the bucket of honey is filled.
