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
