midterm project ; actual piece

So this is an instructable video that I made (my metal ball still didn’t come …)

 

the name of the project is A mazeing lamp. (I don’t know this makes sense or not, tried to make a word with amazing and a maze)

The piece does not require a lot of coding and it is easy to make. I focused on the interaction between the user and the lamp, so the lamp itself becomes a game.

The laser cutting and connecting the circuit was the most challenging thing for me. Somehow the connection between the “trigger” and the copper tape didn’t work.

My final did not come as I thought but as I was making the project,  I learned how to laser cut and the amount of the time that I have to spend to make this. It took a lot longer than I thought.

Beacon

Midterm for Computation Craft 

Beacon is a accessory that emits a loud alarm when the wearer triggers (closes the circuit) the sensor with a metallic ring.

I wanted to create a wearable that could possibly interrupt an attack.

Instructables Link (in progress)

Materials List

Alarm: Piezo Butter, Copper Pipe, Copper Tape, 9Volt Battery, Conductive Thread, Resistive Tape, Wool Yarn, Solder

Light: Fair Wire, 3V battery, 3V battery holder

This is an image from the prototyping phase of closing the circuit between a piezo a necklace piece (copper piping), and a 9V battery with needle and conductive thread.
