For my final project decided to make a wearable so to experiment with LED Neopixel strips and sound Reactivity. Materials Needed: Soldering Iron kit Alligator Clips Circuit Playground Express Sweater with metal zipper (cannot be plastic zipper) Sandpaper (in case you need to sand off Paint of the zipper if it’s painted) Conductive thread and/or…

Sound Reactive Interactive Painting
Interactive Painting : For my project, I made a sound reactive interactive painting.Interactive painting is project consisting of floral painting. The main two flower are made up from neopixel rings and they keep on glowing on and off. They change their color based on the loudness of the sound that the sound sensor picks…
Final Project- Long Distance Lamp
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 is designed to be used…
The Reluctant Shield (Please Don’t Hit Me!)
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…
Final project: Call And Response
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…
Frequency To Light: Chromesthesia Abstraction
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 mixture of colored lights. Materials:…
Final Project: Musical Instrument
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…
Animated Trash
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…
Internet Seismograph
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…
Questions for final project
Q1. Should I include humidity sensor as well with sound sensor? Q2. Is it better to use neopixel strip with neopixel ring? Q2. Should I include butterflies in the interface as well by using LEDs?
Questions for Final Project
Is it better to have multiple lights representing dots and dashes or to have single light? What material would work best for diffusing light in the jar? To display “stillness”/”waiting” should all lights be off or on ?
