Week 6 Progress

Goals for Week 6:

  1. enclosures complete and installed
  2. large-scale neo-pixel installed
  3. projection screen installed and working
  4. setting up speakers to be connected to computer

What We Accomplished & Learned:

Enclosure Fabrication

Fabricating our enclosures comprised the bulk of the work for this week. While we had gotten our materials last week, this week we had to create plans for laser cutting, laser cut all of the parts, paint them, construct everything and begin installing our electrical components. We also painted our clay enclosures for the RFID tags.

Installing Neopixels, Speakers and Projector

As our final step in getting to 50% progress, we got our Neopixels, projector, and speakers all working in our temporary space. We used a projector from Arielle to start projecting our fractal visualizations. Later on, we might try using a more advanced projection software to map everything to our space. Below, you can see a video of everything working.
