LINK TO FINAL PROJECT VIDEO Afnan Ellythy and Johanna Bonilla Dedicated to Sabrina Raaf for helping us with this project, we couldn’t have done it without you!! Our goal for this project was to create a way for two long distance persons to be able to communicate by only looking at their lamp. This project…
The concept behind this project was to make a shield that demonstrably does not want to be hit. It bleeds when you hit it, and if you keep hitting it, nature itself rises up against you for harming the shield. What did shields ever do to you anyway? (Original concept also included as a bonus goal…
My final project was inspired by Camille A. Brown who is a performative artists and centers her work mainly around African-American experiences. For my project I wanted to do a call and response theme which is a performative act that is well-known in African-American music and rituals. The project is very simple; individuals who have…
LINK TO FINAL PROJECT VIDEO By Parvathi Krishnan Background: My interactive project is inspired by the ability of some people that see colors when listening to music. The set up aims to display different neopixel lights onto a reflective surface by matching the frequency it hears with the color of that note, creating an abstract…
The goal of this project was to make a musical instrument using wind-chime pipes and two servo motors. I was inspired to make something musically inclined by my Artist Presentation. I wanted to make something that interacted with light and sound such as in Janet Cardiff’s Experiment in F# Minor. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic…
The idea of this project was to bring inanimate objects to life an give them a meaning that most people don’t associate them with, such as trash being involved in an ecosystem. this instructable will show you how to attach one piece of recyclable. Materials: Double male-ended wires (3 per neopixel strip) Neopixel strips Adafruit…
FINAL VIDEO DOCUMENTATION For my project, I made a sound reactive back-lit canvas. The lights behind the canvas turn on based on the loudness level of the sound the sound sensor on the Circuit Playground Express picks up. Materials Needed: Your painted canvas A poster board (cardboard or any thin, sturdy material could work too)…
Materials Needed: Circuit Playground Crikit (optional) 3 neopixel strips with at least 5 neopixels Thin wire Alligator clips with female end Soldering Iron Hot glue gun Solder Popicle sticks Glass Jars White paint Paint sponge Instructions Step 1 : Paint glass jars with a thin layer of white paint using a wet paint sponge, also paint…
By Cassie Ogburn & Katrin Svadlena Our goal for this project was to make an interactive art piece to argue with/ let off steam. Inspired by Ulay and Abramović’s AAA-AAA; a performative art piece of which is a video of them just yelling at each other. So, we wanted something to prompt you, and suddenly…
For the final project, I attempted to make a device that captures the “shakes” of the internet. The work samples live twitter data and looks for tweets that match a set of keywords; any words that fit this register as “tremors” and are outputted as oscillations of a servo, captured on a turning spool of…
Hello all. For my final project I made a rain detecting umbrella. To get started the things you will need are: An Umbrella 1 Adafruit Circuit Playground 1 battery pack with batteries 1 JST 2 pin cable for the battery 3 Alligator clips 1 strip of 60 LEDS Scotch Tape 2 wire nuts The first…
For the final project, I will be enhancing the interactive project we previously did into a 3D model with a slide switch. For the slide switch, I will be incorporating LEDs in the skyscraper buildings and as a car passes by, the LEDs will switch on. The NeoPixel will be place inside the Willis Tower…
