Week 2

talked to Kevin about how to hook up my EL wire to the Arduino to allow for multiple strands of EL wire to be hooked up.

played around with style lines on the dress form to see how far three meters would get me.  What you see is three meters, so I will need at lease 6 more meters to get the look I was going for.

this is what the style lines look like under fabric.  I’m just playing around with different look.

where all the hardware will be hidden.

Successes:

got the EL wire to light up and played around with a couple of style lines

Problems:

Realizing that there will be more bulk than I was hoping for in the back of the dress but hopefully that will be covered by the fullness in the train.

Schedule:

I am behind schedule, but hopefully I can pick things up in this coming week.

 

 

moving forward:

-keep patterning

-figure out how much EL wire I will need.

-Figure out how I will make the lights flash to the beat of music using a sound sensor.
