Anime Glasses Creative Switch
For this project I attempted making glasses that resemble the exaggerated glasses in anime by making two LEDs light up when touching the middle part of the frame. Due to technical issues, the LEDs light up when you press on the right leg of the frame. Here is how: Materials: Any type of glasses frame…
Sword Lights Up on contact (with another metallic object) Creative Switch Project
This is a walkthrough of what I did in an attempt to acquire a cool glowing sword (who doesn’t love a cool sword?). I had several problems that I will include ideas on how to mitigate or work around on a future attempt as well as what I actually did. Materials: Hollow plastic sword Six…
Creative Switch Assignment : Hina Khalid
Hi, I made a creative switch circuit , in which the flower that is made up from LEDs light up when air is blown on the fabric material or when the fabric is pressed. Step1. Take all the material listed below: (a) RGB LED’s. ( b)Stranded wire. (c)Battery (4 of 1.5V) (d)Battery holder(AA4). (e)Conductive Fabric. (f)…
Creative Switch Project by Eric Silva
For the creative switch project I decided to make it mechanically inclined. The device consists of a rack and pinion assembly. For those who may not know what a rack and and pinion is, it’s a gear and a flat bar that mesh together. It’s most known use is in the steering columns of many…
Constellation Touch Chart
For my creative switch project I wanted to make a constellation map that would activate when you touched it. I wanted to place it inside of a book so that it had the potential of creating different pages with different constellations. In order to do this, I needed to choose a constellation to replicate and…
Literally Me Crying
For this project I made an embroidered canvas crying red. I chose to make it crying, but it can be easily changed to create different emotions; by making it blush, or have lights around its head. Here is the walk though. Materials: Canvas 5 Red LEDs Conductive thread (any thread will work) Wire 3 metal…
Thinking Cap Creative Switch By: Tamae Douglas
For this creative switch project I decided to attempt making a thinking cap. By simply putting on a pair of glasses an idea is formed, indicated by lights that appear on top of the hat. Materials Needed hot glue/tape glasses hat 2 white LED lights 6 voltage battery pack( 2 three voltage batetries) red and…
