PComp, Wk 14: Semaphore Jacket – First Complete Prototype!
Now that I got one of my flag circuits to work, I went to work on the code. I used some of Adafruit’s StrandTest code and the neopixel library and the digital switch. I struggled with the code and got … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket – Progress, Pt. 3
ok before I get started I’ve been watching the “Great British Bake Off” as I work on my soft circuits and JUST as I was typing the title of this post I hear the word “semaphore” and I’m like, am … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket: – Progress, Pt. 2
After I got my components working, I started planning out how the LEDs would be arranged on the sleeves. I needed enough to get the idea across, but not too many. I laid out a couple and sketched out a … Continue reading
PComp, Week 13: Semaphore Jacket – Progress, Pt. 1
In the first part of the process, I started with basic breadboard components and circuitry that mimic my design then step-by-step swapped out components to those that I’d use in the prototype. ITERATION 1: I started off with doing the … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 13: Semaphore Jacket – Design
Below are some of the sketches I’ve done of the Semaphore Jacket, including object/circuit design and sketches of the user experience. OBJECT DESIGN: Front of the jacket – with LED sleeve panels and snap switch. Silicone wire will travel from the … Continue reading
PComp, Week 12 – Final: Semaphore Jacket
I want to make a rain jacket that has LED semaphore flags sewn onto the sleeves. I’ve been thinking a lot about the refugee crisis, and the recent email to the ITP4SC got me thinking about how we can design … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 10: BOM
This is still something that needs to be finalized. In truth, we only finalized our project idea this week so had to rethink our systems diagram and BOM. The Systems Diagram can be found on Melanie’s Blog.
PComp, Wk 8: Final Project Ideas
I can’t say that I have anything concrete in mind for a final project. No sketches or drawings to speak of and try as I might…I can’t picture what I want to do. Part of it comes from a frustration … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 7: Midterm
This post is essentially a reconstruction of the notes that I took throughout the development process of our midterm, with some documentation photos/videos thrown in. Our initial idea was to design an experience that used tactile materials, thinking about how … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 6: Application
I couldn’t find a sketch from ICM that I liked that I felt like I could use with an analog input. Instead, I looked at the mapping code and modified it so that instead of drawing a graph, I’d draw … Continue reading
