Interactive Shadow Box

HOME SWEET HOME Interactive Shadow box For my final project, I was interested in incorporating sounds and LEDS into a cool shadow box scenery. My first proposal was centered around a cricket and its sound effects.Also, moving grass with motors ( that was deemed too noisy)  and an LED moon. After much discussion with the class,…

CaelenPeshek FinalProject

My final project was a waterfall using blue LED’s. The lights respond to a ping sensor in the front. When the sensor has something in front of it the lights will turn off and stay off until the object is moved. The sensor is set to change the lights when something is less than 46cm…

Final Project: Becoming the Cyborg

   The idea was to make a robot helmet after Joshua stated that all my projects had a similair cyborg aesthetic. The helmet was always meant to have two components. One was a voice changer of some kind and the other was a device that would light up LED’s when it “hears” sound. Problem was…

Drawing Machine II

This is my Drawing Machine II. The design is simple, functioning with only one dc motor. The 9v battery, Arduino, and wiring are located at the top, between the disposable plates. The drawing happens when the motor spins the mechanism at the bottom. There is a small brush attached at one side where one can…

Turning Car

     This project is about a car that turns to the left depending on how much light the photo resistor receives. The more light the photo resistor gets, the more it will steer to the left.  I made this project to see what other things I can do with Legos using outside components.  I also figured I should…

Patty and Sam’s Rainforest Tank

Circuit top view. Eliminated the breadboard and sautered connections.   Circuit is hidden under the tan. Only tubing can be seen. Lowest rainfall is in red, second lowest in yellow, and highest in green. This will help the viewer further understand the decrease in rainfall over the decades and allows for each decade to be…

Laptop Light Show – Final Project

Laptop Light Show: For this project I wanted to remain with using light like I have for the semester. All semester I had been interested in creating a light show that was responsive to sound that would be mounted on the back of a television, laptop, or desktop monitor. To make my idea a little…

Responsive Mirror

This new media work is to challenge the preconceptions of the viewer through the use of mirror and electronics in an experiential setting. Video on Youtube #include <Wire.h> #include <Adafruit_PWMServoDriver.h> // called this way, it uses the default address 0x40 Adafruit_PWMServoDriver pwm = Adafruit_PWMServoDriver(); // you can also call it with a different address you…
