My
final project for this work turned out to to semi-successful. I had
tried my best to improve on my first assignment, which turned out to
be a good idea. In my first project for this class, I wanted to make
a coffee cup based on my habit of twisting the lid non-stop. During
the critiques, I got a lot of ideas in how to improve this project
and I used this is my final piece.

The
process of the project was very stressful. Although I like the class,
it was hard for me to get used to this type of art and coding. It was
a new experience for me and it wasn’t easy. My final project was
very nerve racking.

In
order to get started on the project, I had to figure out how will I
improve my last assignment. I figured out how to do that by taking
the fidgeting habit and making it fun. The original idea of my final
proposal was to take two multi colored LED lights and have them
twist and turn as I turn the cap in different directions. Also, I
would ave had a trim pot installed to the cap of the coffee cup and
as a twist to the right, the cap turns blue, and to the left the cap
turn red.

As
always, when I got started on the project I ran into a lot of issues.
I couldn’t figure out ow to make the code work, and for some reason
the trim pot wasn’t working for me either. I installed the piece best
to my work and made it complete. The project turned out to be more
complicated than I thought. In the long run, I realized some of the
mistakes I had made while working on this that may have worked less
to my advantage. The project turned out to be less successful than I
had hoped for.

As
the time of finals went on, I tried my best to get as much of the
piece done in the time that was offered to me. I tried to make it to
every class meeting and after school work hours. It was hard with my
work schedule though.

If
I were to improve this piece, I would definitely change somethings
up. I would have taken more time to make the piece more presentable
and I was have used a smaller Aurdino. The piece didn’t turn out
necessarily exactly how I wanted it too. Some other improvements I
would have taken in order to improve this is to make it more unique
and reliable. Although my plan for it was to make it water proof, I
don’t think that it is. The project was a definite success from my
previous project, but standing alone it wasn’t.

If
I were to continue these types of fidgeting devices, I would work
more into getting the code right. There are a lot of issues that
played wrong with the code and it was a hard thing to figure out.

Throughout
the finals time, I had realized the different typeof art this class
has to offer. Although it wasn’t my strongest course, I did my best
to learn the material that was given to me and to take pride in the
making of these pieces.
