Final – 3D crocodile/lion puzzle
My presentation: Circuits final and check my Instructables link: http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-crocodilelion-puzzle/
Lotus flower with flexinol
For this project I wanted to create a flower that would be covered by a leaf, and be revealed. However, working with the flexinol was very difficult, and the leaf only worked once as it burned. I tried other types of leaf too. Overall, think this is a very tricky material!
Midterm Lamp
For my midterm I wanted to create a piece that would lid up because of its part being assembled. My concept was to create a sort of toy that kids could assemble when going to bed and work as a night light. The circuit is completed when the legs are put into place. As the…
Midterm idea..
For my midterm I want to create a simple circuit that does not rely on the Arduino. I want the circuit to come alive once the “lamp” is assembled. I envision this to be kinda of a puzzle lamp for kids which they can assemble in order for it to turn on. My inspiration came…
Capacitive Sensors
For this assignment I worked with Bear Conductive ink and copper tape (also copper textile) to create two versions of capactive sensors. Bear ink took at least 6 coats to work when mixed with water. I followed two tutorials for this: http://www.bareconductive.com/capacitance-sensor
HMW 4 – first arduino connection
For this project how was thinking of “surprise” and immediately thought of a camera for toddlers to interact with. I really wanted to learn how to work with felt, so it was my first experience working with the material and found it incredibly soothing! I enjoyed working this material and the conductive thread was amazing…
HMW 3 – building sensors
Making sensors with materials in class
HMW 2 – paper puppet
For this assignment I decided to create out of paper a puppet that could lid up. The circuit completes itself when the dragon closes his mouth, allowing for the cooper tape to make contact with the battery, hence completing the circuit.
