This is the top of the outfit which is reactive to movement. This is the skirt of the outfit which is reactive to sound. The blue and purple lights are programed to different thresholds. Top of the outfit Slow and No Movement Fast Movement Back of […]
Accomplishments: We did not figure out how to make the code for the FHT work but I wrote a simpler code that works pretty well using raw data from the electret microphone. I have been working on putting the skirt together this week. I cut all of the fabric […]
The picture shows the testing set up I used with the a LED attached to the microcontroller/microphone. The light flashes to the beat of the music. The fiber optics I will be using are also shown. Accomplishments: This week Kevin and I experimented with the fast Fourier transform or FFT […]
Accomplishments: This week Kevin and I soldered the electret microphone to the Qduino Mini microcontroller (shown in the picture). We have been researching possible coding techniques to use in order to make the LEDs blink to the beat of the music. We experimented with the fast Fourier transform or FFT, […]
Accomplishments: This past week Kevin and I finished modifying the code so that it accurately reacts to slow and fast movement. Our code takes the average magnitude of the x, y and z direction so a reading of around 1 (0.95-1.05) is equivalent to no movement. Slow movement gives values […]
Accomplishments: Both Alex and Kevin completed the code for the outfit during the last week of class. By adding multiple thresholds the lights illuminate when there is no motion, fade in and out at different rates when there is slow motion and flash at different rates when there is […]
Accomplishments: Both Alex and Kevin soldered the IMU to the LilyPad and ran the minimalistic example code to ensure the IMU was hooked up correctly and outputting reasonable values in the serial monitor. At first we were having trouble uploading code to the board but this problem was easily resolved […]
Project Title: Illuminating Interactive EDM Festival Outfit Project Team Members: None. Project Description: I will be designing am EDM Festival outfit that illuminates different LED patterns based on the motion of the wearer. Slower motions of the wearer will result in slow lighting effects (slowly fading in and out) and […]
I made a headband with LEDs that fade in and out at different rates which are connected to a light sensor. Every three LEDs have a different fade rate so it creates a twinkling effect. However, in the video my batteries were running low so all the LEDs appear to […]
